For the 25th anniversary of the festival, a programme featuring prize winners and highlights from the rich festival history is obviously unavoidable. In the build-up to the festival, visitors of the website could nominate films from the past 25 years for the Shareware programme. Not necessarily films that were once screened at the festival. Trend-setting examples of animation in the rapidly changing media landscape are screened in the Re-Imagining Animation section.

This program screened as part of HAFF 2010
