The competitive section of short films includes films such as The External World by David O' Reilly, and El Empleo by Santiago Bau Brasso.

Collaborations with other animation festivals also reveal an international high point for Animasyros. The best of Anima Brussels, Hiroshima International Festival, and Anim'est International Festival (Bucharest), as well as a tribute to the new Be there! Corfu Animation Festival is underway.

Cassidy Curtis, supervising animator at PDI/DreamWorks, and Jim Capobianco, story artist and animator at Pixar, are scheduled to speak in the festival's forum, which also features talks by Greek ASIFA organizer Anastasia Dimitra, George Sifianos, Raquel Coelho, and Mohamed Ghazala.

Ratatouille and How to Train Your Dragon will surely entertain all of those involved, and the kids have a special treat with specifically designed workshops.

Animasyros 4.0 will run from 15 to 18 September. Visit the official site, and watch the festival trailer below:
