Summer may feel like it's still a way off, but it'll be here before you know it. And with summer comes one of the biggest events of the animation calendar: The Annecy International Animation Film Festival. For one week in June, the French town becomes the centre of the animation world, as the cream of animation talent from around the globe come to town.
Ahead of the announcement of the full festival line-up, Annecy gradually reveals the Official selection.
