Anita Killi has made several award-winning animated films, among others The Hedge of Thorns (2001), distinguished as the Norwegian film to win the most international awards in 2002. In addition to animated art shorts, she has also made animated commercials and sequences in documentaries and industrial films. In 2009 she completed the animated film Angry Man. The film, dealing with domestic violence, is based on Gro Dahle and Svein Nyhus's picture book of the same title. As of 2011, the film had been shown on almost one hundred film festivals and won over forty awards, reportedly making Anita Killi the most awarded filmmaker in the world in 2010.

Since 1995, Killi runs the animation studio Trollfilm AS from her family's farm in Dovre. The technique employed in most of her films is a combination of cutouts and object animation in multiplane technique, i.e. animation filmed in several planes.

Killi mentions Yuriy Norshteyn and Michaël Dudok de Wit as sources of inspiration.
