Annecy Festival
Started in the 1960s, this international animated film festival, one of the most respected in the industry, takes place for one week every June in and around the town of Annecy. The festival receives more than 2,500 entries annually from which 200 are short-listed to take part in the official selection. In addition to indoor screenings around town—the Musée-Château, La Turbine, the Parc Vignières-Pommaries—there's a free screening on the giant screen on the Pâquier lawn each evening.
