AniMela, India’s first international celebration of Animation, VFX, Gaming, Comics and XR, returns to Mumbai with its most ambitious edition yet. What began as a spark has grown into a landmark gathering for the global creative technology community, bringing together imagination, innovation and play at scale.

The 2026 programme spans four immersive days of screenings and premieres, artist talks, behind-the-scenes journeys into major productions, a gaming arena, an international VR showcase, a vibrant comics experience, and an industry ecosystem designed to connect talent with real opportunities. This edition also introduces India’s first Transmedia Stage—a dedicated space for world-building where narrative, sound, interactivity, characters and fandoms come together to extend stories across platforms.

Featuring curated work from around the world, including France, Japan, Australia, Spain and the USA, AniMela 2026 positions Mumbai at the centre of the global AVGC-XR conversation.
