Annecy Selection Results: Graduation, TV and Commissioned Films

Annecy Selection Results: Graduation, TV and Commissioned Films

48 Graduation FIlms,  24 TV films and 35 Commissioned films are the results of the second part of the selection process of Annecy Festival 2019  (first part: short films).

24 countries (Saudi Arabia and Belarus among them)  are represented via international schools that include: CalArts (USA), the Estonian Academy of Arts (Estonia), EMCA (France), Gobelins (France), Moholy Nagy University (Hungary), Bezalel Academy of Art and Design (Israel), Tokyo Academy of the Arts (Japan), Lodz Film School (Poland), FAMU (Czeck Republic), Royal College of Arts (United Kingdom) and HSLU (Switzerland).

Flora Anna Buda with her Berlin-premiered short Entropia Apart by Diana Cam Van Nguyen, could be some of the choices that justify Marcel Jean's statement that the question of identity (starting with gender identity) comes to the surface and is a preoccupation for several young filmmakers.

Also check: Sounds Good by Sander Joon, Deepness of the Fry by: August "Poul" Niclassesn (our review), and we certainly need to check the 3 Polish entries in the graduation section.

In the words of its artistic director, Marcel Jean, the festival was particularly thrilled with the diversity and quality of the American TV productions, and the British commissioned film productions. And the Anglo-Saxon factor is indeed well-represented here - but the new Panique au village episode: "La Foire agricole", by Vincent Patar and Stéphane Aubier is always welcome.

The commissioned films category, on the other hand, has become the haven for animation festivals. No less than 8 (!) animation festival trailers, from artists like Chintis Lundgren, Marta Pajek, Mikaela Müller figure in the category.
