Over the course of its 60 years, the Annecy Festival has established itself as a global event dedicated to animation, bringing together the most esteemed professionals from the sector to celebrate animation’s creative and diverse styles and techniques.
The International Animation Film Market is the ultimate event in this sector. It enables meetings between authors, creators, and directors, with producers, distributors, and buyers, to contribute to this industry’s development.
The Annecy Festival Residency aims to support authors and their creations. Supervised by illustrious animation mentors, the project leaders of the three selected feature films cultivate their work’s graphic development.
After more than 60 years of the Festival, and over 35 years of the Mifa, many loyal or new participants testify each year how significant the event is in their professional careers.
"Out of all my memories of the Annecy Festival, the best ones are when I came when I was a student. You come across hundreds of different nationalities, but we all speak the same language."

"I met the producer of my first short film at Annecy, and we all know that there aren’t other films without a first film."

"I return every year like an excited child going back to summer camp. And each time I say to you 'don’t change a thing', and each year you change something and it’s even better than before."
