Flipbook Film Festival brought European animation to Skopje from August 3 to 9, 2026, with screenings at Kotur, the Cinematheque park and the Macedonian pub Dze. Alongside the main and student competitions, the programme gave animated documentaries and music videos their own late-evening screenings, while BoomBar welcomed younger audiences to the Cinematheque.
Anna Mantzaris’s Please won Best Animated Short Film, and Jelena Milunović’s Floating took the student prize. The festival also rewarded My Polish Hair, Michalina Musialik’s animated documentary, and Nespy 5euro’s video for Flea and Thom Yorke’s Traffic Lights. The young audience chose Magdalena Metrycka’s Citrus Cyclops; Eko-svest’s environmental award went to The Last Straw by Dorotea Radušić and Mislav Rotim.
Away from the competitions, retrospectives and masterclasses explored the work of Thomas and Ivana Volda, Marko and Martina Meštrović, and Vuk Jevremović. Exhibitions brought frames and sets out of the films and into the festival spaces. The week ended with the awards ceremony on August 9.
