PANORAMA

This programme is significant in two ways. First, there are a few films in the lineup that have started their festival career in Annecy, which means that those same films will most likely receive more awards in upcoming festivals. Second, four out of the seven films in the programme are directed or co-directed by women, which is a very good sign for gender equality in the animation community. I hope that you will have as much pleasure to watch those films as I had to select them and see them awarded. –Yves Nougarede
