After viewing more than 1,700 previously unreleased films, the Anima Festival  selection committee chose a total of 154 short films. The international competition will feature 99 titles, while the national competition will include 23 Belgian new releases. There will also be 32 out-of-competition films in the animated documentary programme, the Queer Stories programme, and the new Women’s Perspective programme.

The jury for the international short film competition will be made up of Gaëlle Grisard (illustrator and teacher illustration), Pablo Pico (composer and multi-instrumentalist specializing in animated films) and Yiorgos Tsangaris (director and head of the Animafest festival in Cyprus).
 
The national competition jury will be made up of Laura Almantaite (producer and director of the BLON Animation and Games Festival in Lithuania), Jean-François Bigot (producer at JPL Films) and Pascale Hecquet, illustrator and director of a dozen short films for children that have been selected in festivals around the world.
