The National Film Board of Canada is making a strong showing at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival with four short films, including three in official competition. The latter are the highly anticipated Maybe Elephants (Mikrofilm/NFB) by Torill Kove; Le tableau (The Painting) by Michèle Lemieux, made using the Alexeïeff-Parker pinscreen; and Ryo Orikasa's astonishing Miserable Miracle (Miyu Productions/NFB/New Deer). Filmmaker Jo Roy breaks new creative ground in her unique film, Corpus and the Wandering, which will screen in the Off-Limits Competition. All of these productions and co-productions have been inspired and informed by different art forms, from poetry to dance and the visual arts.
Taking place June 9-15, 2024, Annecy is an essential event that welcomes animation creators and professionals annually-the world's largest festival dedicated solely to animation.
