Annecy announces the creation of an exclusive residency for female animation feature film directors.
The 2024-2025 International Mifa Campus supported some of the world's finest emerging animation talent from the Island of Syros all the way to Madagascar stopping off at the Andean countries and India.
The curtain rises on the 5th edition's mentorship: Alain Gagnol, Anita Doron, Aurélien Prédal, Jules Bonnassieux, Reza Riahi and Sébastien Tavel. Vitality and rigour are on the menu!
It looks like the 5th edition is going to be really promising with 3 new shortlisted projects!
During the Animasyros International Animation Festival in Greece, Annecy Festival organised a new International Mifa Campus – Talents workshop.
As part of its programme to promote visual arts education and creative animation in the Andean countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela), Mifa is putting its network and expertise to good use to support new talent at three International Mifa Campus events in South America.
With the support of the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Département de la Haute-Savoie, the Drac Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the CNC, CITIA, organiser of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, supports creation through a residency for animation feature film graphic development.
A huge thank you to Céline Sciamma, Valérie Zenatti, Vanessa Chenaie, Kim Keukeleire, Patrice Suau and Graham Annable, the six mentors for the 2024 Annecy Festival Residency!
Despite being in the middle of shooting his next film The Phoenician Scheme, filmmaker Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The French Dispatch) will do us the great honour of coming to Annecy to talk about animation film at this year’s International Animation Film Festival, which will be held on 9th to 15th June 2024.
