A festival curated through the eyes of animation artists, a screening journey to explore poetry and inspiration. Together with the audience, we create a garden for the mind.
Feinaki Beijing Animation Week is an animation festival curated by internationally well-connected Chinese animation artists, researchers, and curators actively engaged with festivals around the world. The name "Feinaki" is derived from the phenakistoscope, reflecting a transliteration of its Chinese name. Founded in 2019, the festival has presented seven editions as of 2025.
We are dedicated to inspiring and supporting Chinese animation filmmakers, presenting Chinese animation art, and bringing it to the international spotlight. At the same time, we present outstanding international works, offer Chinese audiences fresh aesthetic experiences, and create opportunities for face-to-face exchanges with filmmakers from around the world, fostering a vibrant ecosystem for animation creatives.
The 8th edition of Feinaki Beijing Animation Week will take place in mid-November 2026. Submissions to our competition program are now open worldwide.
