Since 1994, Fredrikstad Animation Festival curates the Nordic-Baltic animated short film category in Fredrikstad, Norway. This year,  20 short films, 11 student films, 6 children’s films and 33 commissioned pieces have been accepted into the  Nordic-Baltic competition festival programme of Fredrikstad Animation Festival.

Still Lives, Elli Vuorinen's new film Still Lives is here, exploring the concept of "busy stillness". Estonian Priit Tender competes with an animated incarnation of the Orpheus myth, whereas Norwegian Robin Jensen explores love's darker side in  meat grinder Farce.
