The 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival took place from 8 to 14 June 2025, in Annecy, France. Unlike previous editions, the festival opened with the world premiere of a selection of five shorts instead of a single feature-length film.[1] These short films were: 9 Million Colours by Bára Anna; Carcassonne-Acapulco by Marjorie Caup & Olivier Heraud; La Vie avec un Idiot by Theodore Ushev; "Black" (from the anthology series Star Wars: Visions) by Shinya Ohira; and The Girl Who Cried Pearls by Chris Lavis & Maciek Sczcerbowski.[2]
French film Arco, directed by Ugo Bienvenu, won the Cristal for Best Feature Film, while Canadian film Endless Cookie, directed by Seth Scriver and Peter Scriver, received the Contrechamp Grand Prix.[3][4]
Background
The year's complete Annecy International Animation Film Festival lineup was announced on 23 April 2025.[5] Alongside the films for each section, special presentations of upcoming projects were also announced. These include works from various film studios such as Sony Pictures Animation (Tyree Dillihay's Goat), DreamWorks (Pierre Perifel's The Bad Guys 2), Paramount (Derek Drymon's The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants and Chris Miller's Smurfs), Netflix (Stranger Things animated series, Alex Woo's In Your Dreams and Raphael Bob-Waksberg series Long Story Short), Disney (Jared Bush and Byron Howard's Zootopia 2), Pixar (Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi's Elio), Warner Bros. Animation (Smiling Friends season 3), and Rocketsheep Studio (Avid Liongoren's Zsazsa Zaturnnah).[6][7]
Three recipients for the Honorary Cristal Lifetime Achievement Award were announced: American producer and animator Matt Groening, Academy Award-winning French filmmaker Michel Gondry, and English director and animator Joanna Quinn. Groening, creator of both animated sitcoms The Simpsons and Futurama, presented an exclusive screening event of the former series alongside executive producer and showrunner Matt Selman and consulting producer David Silverman, while Gondry presented his first fully-animated film Maya, Give Me a Title.[8]
For this year's edition, Hungarian animation was chosen to be highlighted with the screening of multiple films including the Cristal Award for Best Feature Film winners Heroic Times by József Gémes (1985) and The District! by Áron Gauder (2004).[9] The festival's poster, designed by illustrator and animator Raman Djafari, draws inspiration from Hungarian folk art and Kalocsa embroidery, using floral motifs as well as the colors in the Hungarian flag.[10]
