The 18th Fest Anča International Animation Festival has announced its award-winning films and directors. The Anča Award for Best Animated Short went to I Died in Irpin, while the Best Slovak Animated Short was awarded to Overture. These winning titles are now one step closer to the Oscar® Award, as Fest Anča remains the only Academy Awards® qualifying festival in Slovakia. This year’s international jury recognized films that reflect the disintegrating times we live in that resonate with the festival’s 2025 theme – OUR BODIES.
