Official Selection

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.

Special Programmes

These programmes are devised by the Festival Artistic Director in connection with the guest country and the programme of the upcoming Festival.

They cover everything the Festival wants to present that is not part of the official selection.

Shorts & Breakfast

A daily morning appointment, from 9:00 to 10:15 am, with the directors of short films in competition who are ready to talk about the genesis of their films, the development and their artistic and technical choices.

The public also gets a chance to ask questions.

Screening Events

The Festival invites you to attend screening events, including sneak previews of shorts and features.

Open-Air Screenings

The free open-air screenings take place on the Pâquier lawn every evening during Festival week.

During the Festival, other locations like the Musée-château, La Turbine, the Auditorium in Seynod and the Parc Vignières-Pommaries also offer other evening open-air screenings.

Exhibitions

Each year there are a number of free exhibitions during the Festival at La Turbine media library in Cran-Gevrier, at the Médiathèque Bonlieu – Annecy and the Centre Courier.

The Festival and Beyond!
