Four honored special guests were announced: British filmmaker Terry Gilliam received the Festival Honorary Cristal for his lifetime achievements, French director and actor Alain Chabat presented his animated series Astérix and Obélix, The Big Fight, and both Portuguese animator Regina Pessoa and American filmmaker Wes Anderson presented masterclasses at the festival.

Pessoa was selected as this edition's signal artists as a part of the edition's spotlight on Portuguese animation and dance. She also designed the official poster for this editions. According to her, the poster depicts a swimmer and dancer who represents "the balance between grace and power in the face of adversity", also taking inspiration from the Portuguese music genre Fado as well as the Lake Annecy waters and the Portuguese ocean.
