Waltz With Bashir/Vals cu Bashir, in regia lui Ari Folman, in competitie pentru Palme d'Or, in 2008, deschide Festivalul Animest, pe 3 octombrie. Documentarul animat urmareste calatoria regizorului in scopul de a afla adevarul despre o misiune a Armatei Israeliene, la care a participat la inceputul anilor '80, in timpul Primului Razboi din Liban, misiune care i-a provocat o pierdere a memoriei. Imagini uitate demult incep sa revina la suprafata, pe masura ce regizorul intervieveaza prieteni vechi si fosti camarazi de razboi. Cadre finale insereaza animatiei imagini de arhiva, crescand miza unui film si asa despre razboi. Iata programul complet al festivalului Anim'est:
