Annecy International Animation Film Festival is the great bastion for the art of animation. Every year thousands flock to the alpine town in southeastern France to celebrate the best work being created by animators across the globe. From short films to features and everything in-between, Annecy is the place to be when it comes to catching the most impressive work currently being made in the imaginative and boundless art form. The short films on display, which we’ve covered for a number of years now, feature animators new and old, some making their first shorts after graduating film school, others 30 years into a career. This year’s films are true to that once more and, in particular, showcase a strong engagement with the creative breadth afforded by the form. Many of the shorts utilise a variety of techniques to bring their stories to life and the results are a joy to behold.
