An open-air cinema beside the campsite anchors ANONIMUL in Sfântu Gheorghe, a village in Romania’s Danube Delta. The festival presents independent features alongside separate Romanian and international short-film competitions, with fiction and animation in the short-film selection. Screenings in the camping area and Green Village cinema halls are accompanied by conversations with filmmakers; audience votes decide the main competition awards.

Fundația Anonimul and Asociația FAMart organize the event. A retrospective extends selected screenings beyond the Delta to other Romanian locations. The dates for the 23rd edition are 10–16 August 2026.
