In between the three main events, the festival will screen Annecy Prize-winning films like “ Flow ” and “Sultana’s Dream,” alongside the short film “Percebes.”

In addition, the event will feature filmmaker panels for “ Inside Out 2 ”, “Moana 2,” “Transformers One,” “The Wild Robot,” and “An Almost Christmas Story.”

This year, attendees will have the opportunity to experience an exceptional selection that celebrates the finest in animation. We are especially excited about our short films program within AIF, ‘Best of Annecy WIA,’ which will provide attendees with the chance to watch, among others, ‘Percebes’ by Alexandra Ramires and Laura Gonçalves, the recipient of our Cristal Award for a short film earlier this year,” said Marcel Jean, artistic director, and Mickael Marin, CEO, of Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
