We discuss nonlinear propagation of light beams in anisotropic media,
addressing the role of nonlocality and nonlinearity in power-dependent beam selfsteering. With specific reference to spatial solitons in positive uniaxial nematic
liquid crystals (i.e. nematicons), we describe soliton self-acceleration through
reorientational response and nonlinear walk-off.
