Fredrikstad Animation Festival brought 123 films to the Norwegian city from 23 to 26 October 2025, pairing Nordic–Baltic competitions with international shorts and a programme for younger audiences. Away from the screenings, a new Producers Lounge and the Østfold Film Mini-Market made room for industry connections, while masterclasses with Liane-Cho Han and Nikita Diakur explored contrasting approaches to animation. The awards were announced on 25 October. Pierre-Luc Granjon’s The Night Boots took the Grand Prix, and the audience chose the Norwegian music video Voi and Destroy. Dog of God won the Nordic–Baltic feature prize. Children and young audiences also had their own juries. The Lifetime Achievement Award honoured Swedish animator, director and illustrator Olof Landström, whose work includes Charlie’s Climbing Tree and a long collaboration with Peter Cohen at POJ-filmproduktion.
