Anibar

Anibar 17th edition of Anibar International Animation Festival
July 12 — 18, 2026
Peja, Kosova

Anibar is an organization founded by a group of young promising art activists, who have demonstrated their vision and capabilities from the onset of the organization's activities. The organization aims at encouraging young people and especially young artists to experiment and work with computer arts (especially animation), in order to express their ideas and worldview through them, discussing impo

rtant social subjects pertinent to youth in Kosovo. Anibar has already started to work towards its overall goal with capacity-building activities such as training and workshops, debates, and other activities that provide emerging artists with visibility. The organization takes pride in the successful completion of eleven editions of the Anibar International Animation Festival, the first of its kind in Kosovo. During these editions of the festival, more than 3000 films from all around the globe competed against each other in the different categories and competitions of the Festival.

It’s a random Thursday in late August, it’s way too quiet, and we’re officially missing the chaos. 🌌✨🍿

July went by at 24 frames per second, so here’s a quick trip back to Anibar before summer completely sneaks away. ⏳

A little slice of the magic, the noise, and the best crowd ever. Press play to wake up Anibar again! 📽️ ✨

It was a pleasure to welcome representatives of the U.S. Embassy Pristina, Kosovo to this year’s Anibar International Animation Festival.

The visit included our Student Competition, festival exhibitions, and conversations about the role of animation, creativity, and cultural exchange in bringing people together.

We appreciate the continued collaboration over the years and were honored to receive a Certificate of Appreciation recognizing our partnership.

We hope your week will be as delicious as our last Saturday!🫶💗

Last Friday, we had the pleasure to have Michael Frei present his short interactive games at our Jusuf Gërvalla Cinema stage, taking the audience through his creative journey, from his first projects to his most recent.🎤👾

From Plug & Play to Kids Swan, he showed how a carefully thought-out process hides behind a minimalist design. Although initially focused solely on animation, Frei has expanded his practice by making the audience an active part of the narrative, where players make decisions without losing the coherence of the story.✨

Huge thanks to Michael and everyone that joined the presentation!

Made possible with the support of SWISS FILMS ❤️

You know what really gets us at Anibar?👀

Collective oohs, collective awwwws and watching animated films together at our cinemas!📽️

Between our home base at Jusuf Gërvalla, to Çarshia, Cubes and Lake, more than 200 were screened, and we watched them all. Decorado and Arco are our media team’s favorites so we’re spamming you with those. 🤭

Not often do we remember to use pencil scraps and flowers to create beautiful things - but with EU support and Marija Jevic by our side we had a lovely workshop on botanical jewelry!🌸

Participants had the chance to learn about the process of casting something in resin, create different kinds of jewelry and take it home!

We’re cutesy, we’re fun and now, floral too!
