Primanima is an international festival and competition of first animations, which is held every autumn in Budaörs. It was launched it in 2012 with the goal to provide a platform and opportunity for young animation talents to present their very first artworks, to build professional connections and join international networks. In this regard, Primanima fills a void not only in the Hungarian, but the European festival scene too.

The demand for an opportunity for young artists to show their talents is well reflected in the fact that over 700 films coming from leading animation schools and studios around the world are entered to the festival every year. The selected short films compete in three categories-student films, graduation films and first films-for the awards given by an international professional jury and the audience.
