Anibar presents its first collaboration with Linoleum Contemporary Animation and Media Art Festival.
In our 13th edition of the festival, we will present a 40-minute program in support of our Ukrainian artists.
Art has no boundaries and as such should not be silent.
During these difficult times, we stand by our partners, artists and friends from Ukraine by offering them space to showcase their work in this edition of the festival.

FROM UKRAINE TO KOSOVO
During this edition of the Festival, our guests also enjoyed a performance by Ukrainian artist Nor Famous Nor Rich (NFNR) in our collective support for Ukraine.
In addition, we have launched an emergency support initiative for the Linoleum cultural community.
The main purpose of the initiatives is to provide them with immediate financial support for their Festival.
LINOLEUM is the largest center of independent short animation in Ukraine.
Launched in 2014 in Kyiv every year, the festival screens around 250 films from around the world, offers seminars and lectures given by the best players in the field and a special program for children.
LINOLEUM aims to support animation artists and promote Ukrainian animation worldwide, as well as encourage and celebrate creativity among animators and media artists.
Due to Russia's aggression towards Ukraine, LINOLEUM has not been able to raise the necessary funds to organize their 9th edition of the festival in Kiev this fall.
In order for LINOLEUM to be maintained once again, they need our financial support.
We ask everyone reading this article to donate and help our Ukrainian friends make their festival happen.
