NEF Animation supports the writing and the creative research in the field of animated film by developping artist residency programs that encourage international mobility.
The International Writing Residency for Animated Films is hosted and coproduced by the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, one of the most important sites of the Loire valley (France).
