This year, the Annecy International Animation Film Festival has received over 3,070 films (short and feature films, TV and commissioned films) from all over the world between November and March. More than 200 films have been shortlisted to take part in the official selection. Next to an interesting selection of multiple films Annecy invites you to attend screening events, including sneak previews of shorts and features.
Virtual reality, presented in the Special Programmes at Annecy 2016, is now part of the Official Selection with a dedicated category: VR@ANNECY.
Each day, there will be two new projects in the Salle de création with HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear headsets at your disposal for the occasion.
Google Spotlight Stories and Google VR are the official partners of the VR@ANNECY sessions.
2018
The 2018 edition of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival beat all the records. There were 11,700 badgeholders, 3,086 films were submitted to the selection committee and 93 countries were represented.
The homage to Brazilian animation, coupled with a theme devoted to “Music and animation film” gave rhythm and colour to the event. Brazil was represented at the Mifa by a delegation of 54 companies with a 45m² stand. Exhibitions, special screenings, concert films, musical performances, jury members, Territory Focus, Sound Creation Workshops and Masterclasses all punctuated the week putting these themes in the spotlight.
