This biggest gathering for global animation will be the first international festival to be able to take place in person post-Covid (with 65% capacity for cinema auditoriums and a curfew of 11pm), whilst also offering online content and events.

by her compatriot Jonas Poher Rasmussen (which scooped the Grand Prize within the Sundance Festival’s World Cinema Documentary section).

As for the nine full-length films selected for the Contrechamp competition, two European features stand out among the line-up: Absolute Denial [+lee también:

by Ross Stewart and Tomm Moore, not to mention films coming courtesy of Pixar, DreamWorks Animation – Universal Pictures, and Sony Pictures Animation – Netflix.

Well worth a mention among the Masterclasses on offer is the session dedicated to three women directors: Latvia’s Signe Baumane, the UK’s Joanna Quinn and Italy’s Martina Scarpelli, while the Making Of line-up will delve into projects in progress from DreamWorks Animation, Netflix and Baobab Studios.

This 2021 edition of the event is set to showcase African animation, as well as offering up, as ever, an ample selection of short films (44), graduate films, TV and commissioned films, and even VR works, all without forgetting the unmissable International Animated Film Market - Mifa, which will unspool between 15 and 18 June both in person (at the Imperial Palace, with no need for a health pass since attendees will be limited to under 1,000 individuals) and online, hosting its usual Pitches and Works in Progress sessions (news), in addition to its Campus initiative, of which Marguerite Abouet is the patron.

The feature films in competition are as follows:
