Annecy 6-11 june 2005

Once again, the number of films received for selection has exceeded all expectations: 1 622 films created in 63 countries were presented to the selection committees in Annecy from February 22 to March 9.
Coming from 32 countries, 208 films make up the official selection, including 173 in competition in the following categories: short and feature films, TV and commissioned films, graduation films and 34 in panorama.
Annecy 2005 is spotlighting Canada’s passion for animation with no less than 12 programmes giving an overview of the country’s rich and widely recognised work. Creators who have become international masters of the art like Norman McLaren, Frédéric Back or Co Hoedeman, new talents and the latest creations, and even a voyage around worldwide animation with collections from the Cinémathéque Québécoise will make up this tribute. Finally, animation professionals will be greeted with a new look film Market in answer to their needs. New services and areas are there to be discovered: a salon for buyers, digital screening, a chill out area, hospitality at the Market’s hub, and many new exhibitors…There is also a great programme of conferences. This year organised in collaboration with Christian Jaquemart and René Broca, the conferences cover different techniques (2D, 3D, models, real time) and different markets (cinema, television, video games, Internet)… not forgetting an exceptional conference making-of at the end of the week. There will also be a much awaited online ticket service to help entry to competition screenings and organize visit beforehand. Personalities from animation and other artistic fields will also be taking part in this impressive rendezvous bringing their experience and a new angle to a great animated week… Find out who they are from June 6 to 11.
