Mifa Pitches

Mifa Pitches

Each year, the Mifa Pitches aim to showcase the best original animation film projects in development. Initially in 4 categories — Feature Films, Short Films, TV Series & Specials and Digital Experiences — the Pitches are becoming more elaborate every year.

These Pitch sessions are a privileged time to discover the universes and sensitivities in their own right, which reflect young international creativity.
