The studio lot in the Babelsberg district – a centre of German film history for over 100 years – provides a fitting cinematic backdrop.

Cosplay and Community
Cosplay is at the heart of the event: the competitions attract elaborately costumed participants from all over Europe. The atmosphere of the convention is familial – those without prior cosplay experience will find an open and tolerant community to get started.
Filmpark Babelsberg as the Venue
Filmpark in Potsdam's Babelsberg district has been the home of the Anime Messe for years. Outside of the convention, the studio lot with its film sets, stunt shows, and the famous Caligari Hall can be visited – access to the entire Filmpark is included in the convention ticket price.
