An explosive cocktail of alternative animation!

The Midnight Specials are back at the Annecy Festival for a handful of late-night screenings targeting seasoned audiences. Daring, off-beat, revealing… enjoy this year's program packed with a spicy selection of films!

Do we really need to introduce the iconic duo Spike & Mike and their legendary animation festival? A true concentration of independent, novel, and experimental creations, it is through this great gathering of underground animation that some of today’s well-known works were revealed to general audiences: Wallace & Gromit, Happy Tree Friends… This festival has always remained one step ahead of the pack in identifying some of the most original creative works, and the resulting selection of shorts made for Annecy 2019 will not disappoint!
