SFN26: The Big Screening Night & The Audience Award
A magical summer night filled with animation, anticipation, and a packed open-air cinema!
On Sunday, July 12, 2026, the 9th SFN Loutraki Animation Festival, an inseparable part of Festivart, culminated in its official screening night. The courtyard of the “Electra” Open-Air Cinema was flooded early on with film enthusiasts and animation lovers, completely exceeding our expectations.
The audience had the opportunity to enjoy a carefully curated selection of the 25 best international short films from this year’s edition. What was truly moving, though, was the energy of the night: the crowd warmly embraced the creations and stayed in their seats until the very last minute, eagerly waiting for the final results.
A Huge Thank You
A night this successful could never have happened without its people. The organizing committee of the SFN Loutraki Animation Festival wishes to express its warmest thanks to the management and team of the “Electra” Open-Air Cinema. Their invaluable support and flawless collaboration were absolutely crucial for the seamless hosting of this event.
Naturally, the biggest thank you goes to all of you who filled the cinema, voted with passion, and proved once again that art brings us closer together. We also extend our gratitude to our sponsors, supporters, and the creators from every corner of the world who shared their works with us.
The 2026 edition leaves us with the most beautiful memories. See you at our next events!
