Annecy Animation Film Festival Creates Non-Competitive Gala Section and New Market Division for Extended Reality Gaming Formats (EXCLUSIVE)


The Annecy Animation Film Festival, which hosts world premieres of high-profile U.S. movies every year, is launching a non-competitive section.

The Annecy Animation Film Festival, which hosts world premieres of buzzy U.S. movies each year, is set to expand its official lineup with the launch of a non-competitive section. Last year, the festival shined with three anticipated U.S. world premieres, Disney’s “Once Upon A Studio,” a 100th anniversary celebratory short; DreamWorks Animation’s comedy fantasy “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken”; and Netflix’s buzzy Medieval-set “Nimona.” Some well-respected figures of the Portuguese film industry, including the filmmaker Fernando Glarito, who heads the animation festival in Lisbon (La Monstra), will attend Annecy as part of the event.
