The Annecy Festival in Paris!

For all those who were unable to make Annecy 2014, you can go along to the Forum des images in Paris, on Wednesday 25^th and Thursday 26^th June, to catch up with the Annecy Festival winners.

You can discover films from Annecy 2014 at these two screening sessions organised with the Forum des images and the Agence du court métrage.

A not-to-be-missed last chance for late-comers!

Cristal, audience award... See you on the Pâquier at 10:15 pm to find out which feature will be screened.

Annecy 2014 will be keeping you in suspense for the last screening on the Pâquier. A feature from the official selection will be shown, but which one will it be?

You'll have to be patient till 10:15 pm, before the Festival writes "The End" on the giant screen for this year.

For the open-air screening at the parc des Vignières Pommaries, discover nature that's better than the real thing...

What if the forest could talk? The creators of Ice Age and Rio invite you into an abundant world where nature becomes even more beautiful by means of intricate and colourful animation. An exquisite universe that brings up the sensitive subject of protecting the environment, but still allows time for laughs and fun.

After receiving the Audience Award at the Annecy Festival, "Max & Co" is back again.

In a world subjected to the dictates of profit and profitability, Max & Co is a real social fable that comically tackles current issues concerning redundancy, fierce capitalism and the domination of man by the company. This stop-motion film is an aesthetic accomplishment that will delight young and old.

Take advantage of a film that is guaranteed to create a buzz for this last open-air screening in the Musée-Château courtyard.
