This year’s edition was defined by both its artistic depth and industry impact. Held in a sweltering but festive atmosphere, the Festival featured world premieres, high-profile guests, and a packed slate of screenings and panels.
Eighteen programs from twelve countries competed, with over 30 public events and 11 screenings held; Robin Wright received the Crystal Nymph, while the inaugural honorary Digital Award previewed the Festival’s expanded focus for 2026.
Hungary presented over 80 films and launched its first professional English-language animation platform, showcasing works from 24 studios and marking 111 years of animated storytelling at Annecy’s sold-out immersive screenings and citywide exhibitions.
The conference will feature fireside chats and keynote conversations with Netflix, SkyShowtime and Warner Bros. Discovery, offering valuable insights into the evolving content landscape.
