Each evening, the public can attend in-depth talks and screenings of the selected works, offering an insight into the latest trends in contemporary animated cinema.<\/p>\n<p>Among the new features of this year\u2019s edition is the collaboration with the Scuola Comics in Palermo, which is taking part in the festival both through the presence of its lecturers on the official jury and via an exhibition project combining illustration and augmented reality. The exhibition, held at the Chiostro San Francesco, allows visitors to enjoy an immersive experience in which the works come to life thanks to digital technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Ample space is also set aside for the youngest visitors, with free creative workshops dedicated to primary school children.
