The „Fantoche“ International Animation Film Festival is Switzerland's most important festival for animated film and one of the world's most prominent animation film events. It takes place every year during the first week of September and appeals to professionals and film buffs alike. Every year, Fantoche tracks down around 300 animated shorts and feature films from all over the world to bring them to the screen in Baden. An extensive supporting programme in line with the animation leitmotif accompanies the film-watching experience.
