Annecy Festival 2022: optimism and Switzerland on the program
Accreditations are open for the Annecy Festival 2022, which will take place from June 13 to 18! The opportunity to take stock of the first information available.
“Preparing a face-to-face festival”
Mickaël Marin, director of CITIA (which organizes the festival), sets the tone: the festival team intends to reconnect as much as possible with a pre-pandemic format, favoring physical attendance:
Preparing a face-to-face Festival, as close as possible to what it was before 2020, is the objective that motivates and will motivate our decisions and our work over the coming months.
We approach this stage with optimism and look forward to welcoming you to Annecy!
On June 13, we are counting on you to come and celebrate with us all the richness of animated cinema!
A positioning which is obviously perfectly consistent with what is the strength of Annecy: electric atmosphere in the screening rooms, networking at random meetings in the aisles of the MIFA (the professional section of the festival), many exclusives, possibility of meeting a very diverse and international public… And the inimitable setting of the city of Annecy with its lake, its old town.
Accreditations: multiple offers
The accreditations are now open for the Annecy Festival and its professional section, the MIFA. Since the course is on the face-to-face, exit the choice between hybrid or online accreditation from last year, the festival returns to a more classic format: the offers depend solely on your profile (pros, students, general public, buyers, press) and what you want to see on site.
Please note that a significant discount is in place until March 7, and will gradually decrease thereafter: getting accredited now will allow you to save around a third of the price of your accreditation.
Switzerland in the spotlight
While it’s still too early to unveil the full program (official selection, special programs, work in progress, making-of, companies present at MIFA, etc.), we already know that Swiss animation will be in the spotlight this year.
We will have the opportunity to come back in more detail on the content of the program when it is unveiled.
Until then, here is a little reminder of the inimitable atmosphere of the Festival with the souvenir film of the 2021 hybrid edition.
