The Animation Festival Network (AFN) connects five leading animation festivals from Central and Eastern Europe (the CEE region), all dedicated exclusively to auteur animated films for both young and adult audiences.
With the World Festival of Animated Film – Animafest Zagreb (Croatia) as the network coordinator, AFN also includes Anifilm International Festival of Animated Films (Czech Republic), Fest Anča International Animation Festival (Slovakia), Animest International Animation Film Festival (Romania) and Animateka International Animated Film Festival (Slovenia).

AFN Presents: That's What She Said programme brings to the audience a thoughtfully selected collection of outstanding short audiovisual works by female and female-identifying filmmakers from the last editions of the Animation Festival Network member festivals. Programmers of Animateka, Animest, Fest Anča, Animafest and Anifilm acknowledge the female power and stress the importance of female voices in the industry of animated films. The selection introduces unique, entertaining, as well as dark stories told in various animation techniques. The best of the 2023 AFN's competitive sections. Or, at least, that's what she said.
