Affiche Annecy Festival 2026 – Illustration : Randall Finnerty
Annecy 2026 official poster, by Randall Finnerty.
"While searching for an image that captures the spirit of the Annecy Festival, I combined my love of eccentric animals engaging in human-like behaviour with a gathering of native birds from the Haute-Savoie region – a spiral pilgrimage that reflects the diversity of people bound by a common love for cinema and animation film."
