With the support of the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Département de la Haute-Savoie, the DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the CNC and Netflix, CITIA, organiser of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, supports creation by way of a residency for animation feature film graphic development.
While the 2025 Annecy Festival Residency drew to a close on 27th June and the 3 selected projects – Father’s Letters, Kigali Night and Kolaval – were showcased during the Mifa as part of the Partners Pitches, it is now time to apply for similar support in 2026! 🤝
The winning projects will come to Annecy, the world capital of animation film, for three months to develop their animation feature film's graphic universe. An environment conducive to creation is provided, along with tailor-made mentoring and support from the CITIA teams.
