The Annecy International Animation Film Festival, in collaboration with Parisfx, is very proud to present this programme to the Hong Kong public. You will see some of the best European and French animated productions over the past two years. These films cover diverse subjects, such as humour, travel, a tribute to traditional cartoon and particularly the sensitive topic of child abuse, with Annecy's special jury award winner, Angry Man by Anita Killi.
For over 50 years, Annecy has been the location for the biggest competitive festival dedicated to animation in the world and a unique professional trade fair (MIFA), where the entire industry comes together for three days of networking and advancing projects.
The capacity to present and promote animation in all its different forms has made Annecy a must event.
Parisfx is a unique event in France focused on digital visual effects, CGI and 3-D in cinema, TV, advertising and video games that attracts many of the major studios, including DreamWorks and Marvel Studios.
