Welcome to Trollywood Animation Festival!
The Trollhättan Animation Association together with our partners welcomes you to Trollywood Animation Festival – On-site and Online – 2026! We have gathered a whole bunch of interesting speakers for the coming edition of the festival.
Special thanks to Region Västra Götaland, The City of Trollhättan, University West, Folkuniversitet and Film i Väst together with our sponsors for making the festival possible.
The Festival
Trollywood Animation Festival is not a traditional animation festival with a lot of screenings. We are focusing on the work and the business that is behind animated movies. We are also trying to cover what happens in the game industry when it comes to animation and VR. There is a lot of cool stuff happening in the world of automotive and other industrial branches, which we also like to spread the word about. But, of course, we also have some screening of animated movies.
This year's speakers has been announced!
We have been working hard to find really good speakers that can share their knowledge and inspire people to new heights.
Some of the speakers from last year’s program:
Cabeza Patata, character design and animation for Google, Spotify, Lego and much more, from England.
Sara Koppel, artist and director from Denmark.
Alli Sadegiani, with a background at Disney and Pixar, now producing his own short The View.
Mikael Pettersen, short and sweet 3d, with a special focus on crowds and Houdini.
Laura and Josh, stop motion animators and puppet makers, from England
Claes Jurander, a pioneer in the field of animation in Sweden.
And more.
