The World Festival of Animated Film - Animafest Zagreb was established in 1972 as the second oldest film festival in the world completely dedicated to animation. An ASIFA-recognized event, it is regarded as one of the Big Four world animation festivals, along with Annecy, Hiroshima and Ottawa. Launched thanks to the global reputation of the filmmakers sprung from the Zagreb School of Animation, until 2005 the festival was held biennially, and afterwards continued in the annual rhythm, devoting even years to short films and odd years to feature films. In its 25th edition, Animafest Zagreb for the first time since its establishment merges the feature and short categories.
