Friendship Fest

A Friendly Foes community event

Watch animations. Make friends.

Friendship Fest is our recurring screening night for local animation. A few times a year we fill a cinema with short films from Filipino animators, students and studios, paired with international animated shorts, then stick around for Q&As, games and meeting the people who made them.

What started as a one-off screening in 2025 has become a regular meetup for the local animation community, and every edition brings a new lineup and new friends.
