How to start? is the all-important question this year. We’ll answer it with the opening celebration that kicks off the festival. After the welcome speech, the winner of the Newcomer Award will be announced, and we’ll usher in the Weltformat Festival with a shared meal.

The Grafikbazar offers designers the opportunity to present and directly sell printed products.

Our festival center: both headquarters and meeting place. We look forward to many encounters, exchanges, or work sessions together in the co-working space. The center at Kornschütte serves as a place to nurture old and new acquaintances and entertain all creatives. Are you a long-time Weltformat visitor or a quiet fan? Then stop by the merch stand and get yourself outfitted.

The Best of Fantoche brings together a selection of films that were either awarded by the juries or chosen as audience favorites. Whether artistically daring or unconventionally told, made with the latest techniques or through classic animation craftsmanship – the vibrant world of animated film is full of visual and narrative surprises.
