Emilia Romagna Castles

The International Animation, Comics and Games Film Festival returns to Rimini.
A week of screenings with short films in competition, themed exhibitions, personal exhibitions of animators and cartoonists, feature films, meetings with artists, workshops and shows.

The events are held in the city's most evocative locations: Piazza Malatesta, Malatesta Castle, Corte degli Agostiniani, Arena Francesca da Rimini, City Museum, Cloister of the Church of San Giuliano, Piazzale Fellini, and Palazzo del Turismo.

The theme chosen for the 2025 edition is sport told through comics, cartoons, and video games. The stories of champions, real and imaginary, become a powerful educational tool, capable of transmitting positive values.

The protagonist of this edition will be Superman, the legendary superhero, who will be celebrated with an installation, an exhibition at Castel Sismondo and various other initiatives.

Among the guests will be Milo Manara, one of the greatest Italian and world-renowned cartoonists, and author of the Cartoon Club 2025 poster. A large exhibition and a meeting will be dedicated to Manara himself.

From 17 to 20 July, Piazzale Fellini will host the 30th edition of "Riminicomix", the comics and merchandising exhibition-market, flanked by the Cosplay Convention, the large gathering dedicated to fans of comics, anime, videogames, and TV series.

Entertainment is guaranteed thanks to an even richer Games area, as well as many concerts, including the eagerly awaited show by the ANIMEniacs group and the king of theme songs Giorgio Vanni, scheduled for 20 July.
