Competitions for regional shorts and features sit alongside a global short-film competition, while seminars and lectures address animation practice for professionals, students and educators. A Lifetime Achievement Award recognises figures in Nordic-Baltic animation and gives the programme a historical dimension. The festival traces its origins to Animerte Dager in Oslo in 1994. Fredrikstad's 2026 festival dates are 21–25 October 2026, with Animated Network Days on 21–23 October providing a dedicated industry programme.",false,[21,23],{"year":22,"hasAwards":19,"hasSelection":15},"2026",{"year":24,"hasAwards":15,"hasSelection":15},"2025",[26],{"notes":27,"textProgram":9},"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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe 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.",[29],{"key":30,"title":9,"filmIds":31},"more",[32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141,142,143,144,145,146,147,148,149,150,151],45252,45255,39635,36687,45257,45789,45259,45261,45301,45302,45304,23076,34575,42095,45268,45214,28294,45218,40836,43965,45223,44858,39896,45227,41825,45229,45231,37376,38371,37381,37384,45306,43720,42065,45234,41815,45235,40498,28042,45312,45314,45318,28258,45310,45308,45263,45265,45320,35525,39496,19295,45270,45272,45275,37449,45277,45322,40292,38397,45279,45784,36666,45488,45490,45493,29573,45367,37465,31031,37471,45251,45365,28798,31742,38412,36904,30677,40808,45281,45361,45359,45357,45355,45352,31660,45350,38150,45283,38436,45285,37037,45287,43617,45289,45291,45293,45296,45298,45300,45325,45327,37520,37521,43588,45330,37535,28784,43575,28349,45331,39673,38406,28085,45348,45343,45341,35382,45339,45337,45335,[38,39,40,43,51,59,68,79,94,105,107,108,117,118,134,143,145],[154,162,170,178,187,195,203,210,218,225,232,239,248,255,263,271,279],{"entryId":38,"urlTitle":155,"status":7,"title":156,"synopsis":157,"duration":158,"hasFullFilm":15,"hasTrailer":19,"image":159,"directors":160,"series":17},"bobby-bobby-jeanette-nrgaard","Bobby & Bobby","The Spider Bobby prepares himself for a swim, when the water suddenly appears dark and…",3,"\u002Fimg\u002Ffilms\u002F_th600\u002Fuj2h7zth.webp",[161],"Jeanette Nørgaard",{"entryId":39,"urlTitle":163,"status":7,"title":164,"synopsis":165,"duration":166,"hasFullFilm":15,"hasTrailer":19,"image":167,"directors":168,"series":17},"books-are-made-of-trees-julianna-jakubowska","Books Are Made of Trees","In the face of danger loomig over the Old Oak and its inhabitants, a grumpy librarian…",6,"\u002Fimg\u002Ffilms\u002F_th600\u002F24on5lqh.webp",[169],"Julianna Jakubowska",{"entryId":40,"urlTitle":171,"status":7,"title":172,"synopsis":173,"duration":174,"hasFullFilm":15,"hasTrailer":19,"image":175,"directors":176,"series":17},"breed-yiyang-sun","Breed","“It‘s a story about butterfly Mom fall in love with a water bubble and give birth to…",9,"\u002Fimg\u002Ffilms\u002F_th600\u002Fdzlh9g13.webp",[177],"Yiyang Sun",{"entryId":43,"urlTitle":179,"status":180,"title":181,"synopsis":182,"duration":183,"hasFullFilm":15,"hasTrailer":15,"image":184,"directors":185,"series":17},"papillon-florence-miailhe","Pending","Butterfly","A man swims in the sea.
