Annecy Animated Film Festival

Annecy, World Capital of Animation

Every June, Annecy becomes the beating heart of global animation with its International Animated Film Festival. Founded in 1960, this prestigious event brings together the greatest animation talents in an exceptional setting between lake and mountains. For a week, the city vibrates to the rhythm of screenings, meetings, and artistic celebrations.

A festival open to all

Whether you’re a professional, an enthusiast, or simply curious, the Annecy Festival offers a rich and accessible program. Short films, feature films, television series, experimental films, and virtual reality works: diversity is in the spotlight. Outdoor screenings are also organized on the Pâquier, by the lake, to share the magic of cinema under the stars.

A gathering for talent and creativity

The Festival is also an opportunity for industry professionals to present their projects, exchange ideas, and innovate. The International Animation Film Market (MIFA), which runs concurrently, has become a must-see for studios, producers, distributors, and young creators from around the world.

A festive atmosphere throughout the city

Throughout the event, Annecy is transformed: exhibitions, workshops, conferences, street entertainment, and festive evenings punctuate the days and nights. The entire city exudes enthusiasm and creativity, in a joyful and friendly atmosphere, reflecting the colorful world of animation.
