As announced in February, Annecy has found yet another way to promote animated features by establishing a partnership with the Cannes Film Market and participating in the "Goes to Cannes" showcase.
With Annecy Goes to Cannes, the Annecy Festival and Market are giving a handful of project leaders the chance to present the progress of their films and give their pitch in a new setting. The projects were selected from previous Mifa Pitch sessions.
On the Annecy Goes to Cannes programme:
You can check out this programme at the Cannes Film Market on Monday 16th May 2016 from 10:00- noon, salle Bory.
You must have a Cannes Film Market badge to attend or sign up with Géraldine Baché (subject to available seating).
