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. 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. 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.
