Fredrikstad Animation Festival isn’t just about watching films; it’s about immersing yourself in the heart of Nordic-Baltic animation. This year’s program is packed with opportunities to be dazzled by the art form that is animation.
Our Industry Events are a highlight for professionals and aspiring animators alike. These sessions bring together directors, producers, and innovators from around the globe to share insights and offer a peek behind the curtain of the animation world. Be sure to explore the full schedule and look for events tagged Industry.
This year, FAF is introducing two exciting new features for Industry Passholders:
-
The Producers Lounge: A dedicated networking hub at Colletts, open daily from 11:30 to 22:00. This space is perfect for scheduling one-on-one meetings, small group discussions, or simply catching up with colleagues in a comfortable, professional setting.
-
Industry Directory: Exclusively for Industry Passholders, this directory helps you connect with fellow professionals before the festival even begins. Two weeks before FAF, all participants who opt in will receive a link to the directory, featuring names, companies, audience categories, and contact information.

Plan Your Visit to Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad is a city rich in history, culture, and charm, making it the perfect backdrop for your festival experience. Most of our events take place at Fredrikstad Kino, the festival’s central venue. Located in the heart of the city, the Kino is easily accessible and surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and scenic spots to explore between screenings.
If you’re traveling from out of town, we recommend checking out our Visit page for tips on accommodation and transportation. Whether you’re looking for a cozy hotel, a taste of Norwegian cuisine, or a peaceful stroll along the river, Fredrikstad has something for everyone.
We’re committed to making the festival accessible to all. Fredrikstad Kino is fully wheelchair accessible, and most films are presented with subtitles. Our relaxed screening is designed to provide a comfortable experience for those who prefer a more laid-back atmosphere.
