annecyThe celebrated French Annecy festival (9-14 June 2014) comes up before the end of the year with some tidbits of its programming schedule for the 2014 festival.

  • A  tribute to stop-motion animation is scheduled for the 38th Annecy festival.

  • The War of 1914-18: the Great War started 100 years ago, and Annecy 2014 will be devoting a retrospective programme for the occasion.

  • Animation Off-Limits, a new competitive section for short films devoted to exploration, innovation and experimentation, will be added to the official selection.

The International Animation Film Festival has decided to call on a well known personality from the world of animation to create its poster (his name to be soon revealed).It has also reshuffled its conference format, and divided it into 3 categories (Creation - Business - Organisation of production).

The Features at Noon discussion  now becomes Features in Competition Press Conferences.  The first screening of a feature in competition will now be followed by a press conference with the film crew. Journalists will have priority access.
