Since 1960, Annecy is the world capital for animation films. Which is not limited of course to traditional animated movie for kids! The most beautiful setting, the most diverse films, the most amazing atmosphere – this is a festival that takes animation seriously. You will watch, you will learn, you will meet, you will throw paper airplanes and raise an eyebrow at the crazy French population. Several countries meet Annecy to elect the best animation film of the year, in different categories, from short film to feature film. This is a unique occasion to see world premieres or enjoy open air free showings every evening on the Pâquier, in an international and warm atmosphere. And don’t forget that it is also a strategic place where producers and distributing agents from many countries come to sell or buy the latest news at the International Animation Film Festival(MIFA). The Mifa Special Events are diverse programmes full of opportunities to communicate with industry professionals.
Every year in June, attending this festival allows people to understand why the whole world loves this art and comes to Annecy.
