The 17th edition of the Fest Anča International Animation Festival 2024, which takes place from 25 to 30 June 2024.
Fest Anča is committed to providing a supportive and harassment-free experience to registrants of all genders, races, sexual orientations, ages, ethnicity, physical orientations, and religions. As such, Fest Anča does not tolerate any threatening, discriminatory, or disrespectful behaviour. This may include but is not limited to: physical or verbal abuse or misconduct; sexual assault or unwanted sexual attention; violations of the law; stalking or bullying; inappropriate disruptions at official Festival events; and any other targeted or derogatory language, gestures, or actions that cause offense to another registrant including staff, performers, volunteers, attendees and participants.
In this spirit, we are not only preparing our festival, but we invite our visitors to create a community with us based on these principles.
At Fest Anča, we believe strongly in the principles of community care. Be aware of your surroundings, be kind to yourself, and make sure the people around you are safe.
Fest Anča reserves the right, in its sole judgment, to take action against any individual(s) or group(s) it deems to be non-compliant with the requirements of this CODE OF CONDUCT, including, but not limited to, revocation of tickets and festival privileges and exclusion from the event without notice or refund.
Did anything bad happen to you or did you see anything? Do you feel anxious?
Get immediate support on the spot, find a member of our team, a volunteer wearing a red scarf or a member of our security team.
You can also go directly to the support point at Žilina-Záriečie Station marked with a sign that reads PLACE OF SUPPORT. Our team members will be available to help you at this location from 10:00 to 01:00. After this time, a SAFE SPACE will be available at the Stanica Žilina-Záriečie during the Friday and Saturday programme.
Open every day of the festival, i.e. from 29 June to 2 June. July from 10:00 to 01:00 the night of the following day in the area of the Ateliér at Stanica Žilina-Záriečie (next to the restrooms) marked with the sign “PLACE OF SUPPORT”.
The support place is for anyone who needs to feel safe, needs help or to talk openly about a problem or situation that happened to them at the festival.
Are you in an uncomfortable/dangerous situation? Do you need refuge? Do you see someone around you who has had too much fun and is vulnerable? Do you just need a break from the chaos and noise for a moment?
Open from 00:00 to 03:00 during the Friday and Saturday night programme at the Žilina-Záriečie Station on -1 floor next to the accreditations.
Fest Anča is a member of Keep Festive, a collective initiative that stands against any sort of sexual harassment and helps festival organizers create a safer space for everyone involved in the event.
