Opening Filem'on Festival 2026 : Ceolchoirm Scannáin

You don’t let a 20th birthday slip by unnoticed.

Ireland, land of rolling hills, green meadows, flocks of sheep, and… animation! Irish animation studios are among the leading ones in Europe. Filem’On is putting them in the spotlight this year, including during the Ciné-concert (or as the Irish say in their native Gaelic language: Ceolchoirm Scannáin). We swap the violins and tin whistles for an enchanting electro-acoustic soundscape, performed live by musicians, who provide a series of animated films with a new, fitting soundtrack.

The film score will be performed live by Sam Comerford, Marco Giongrandi and the pupils of Vila’Ket
in collaboration with Jeugd en Muziek Brussel en Vila’ket
