The 20th edition of the World Festival of Animated Film officially opens today at the Festival and Congress Centre in the port city of Varna and runs until 15 September. 

More than 70 productions have been selected in 7 categories. According to the festival team, the most eagerly awaited are the short film and student sections, which include award-winning films from a number of international festivals. 

In addition to the international section, the festival features a selection of Bulgarian animation from the last two years. Traditionally, the Forum hosts two workshops where children and young people can create an animated short film to be screened at the closing ceremony.
