Among the 11 titles competing for this year’s Cristal – Annecy’s top prize – Jérémie Périn’s sci-fi drama “Mars Express” and Jim Capobianco & Pierre-Luc Granjon stop-motion Leonardo da Vinci epic “The Inventor” will make their world premieres. Other eagerly anticipated titles include “Chicken for Linda!” from Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach, “Four Souls of Coyote” from by Áron Gauder, and “The Inseparables” by Jérémie Degruson.
“As for programming, it is certainly the biggest festival in history,” said Annecy Artistic Director Marcel Jean, referencing this year’s 23 titles in official competitions, one more TV competition program, and Work in Progress session and masterclass numbers. He cited sneak peeks of Warner Bros. Animation’s “The Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirrim,” a first look at Universal Pictures/Illumination’s “Migration,” and a screening of “,” from Paramount Pictures Nickelodeon Animation Studio. “It’s a gorgeous, very beautiful film,” said Jean. “I insisted that we saw an almost completed film, not just a work in progress of 25 minutes, and they’ve said ‘yes.’” “Plus we have important U.S. independents such as Bill Plympton [with “Slide”],” he added.
