‘Feeling a little off-colour this winter? A bit stressed out with listening to what is going wrong with the world? Anima is offering some light relief for the head and desire for the heart with a little cure of animation. There’s nothing like it for putting the neurons back in phase with the zygomatics and vice versa.’

The Brussels Animation Film Festival, Flagey, from 12th to 20th February.
