Peter Lord Presents the Emile Awards
The newly founded institution of European Animation Awards is a unique opportunity for European animators to unite and celebrate the art of European animation.
It has already set its first award date: 8 December 2017 (Nouveau Siècle, Lille, France).
Taking its name from both French animation artists Émile Reynaud and Émile Cohl, the awards tend to celebrate the creativity and energy of a sector which counts multiple and undeniable successes.
