How do you choose which films to show?
Films presented in the official selection are spotted by searching for productions from all over the world. Each year, the festival requests and receives more than 1 films in order to offer a rich and unique program as well as various films in national or even world premieres. The public will be able to discover in Roanne (and nowhere else) certain animated nuggets uncovered by the festival.
How many competitions take place during the festival and how are they held?
The festival offers 6 competitions (international, national, experimental, short show, clips and young audiences). Animated short film has an international jury of professionals recognized worldwide. They will have the heavy task of choosing the winner of the various competitions. The public also chooses the two national prizes through votes. Finally, "young jury" are also set up.

Loïc Portier, festival director
The animated short film festival, internationally renowned!
The animated short, part of the 7e relatively little-known art, offers unlimited multi-faceted creativity. France excels in this booming area of culture.
Few festivals dedicate their programming entirely to animated short films at national and European level by offering such a current panorama. The event is therefore a major event dedicated to animation cinema in France and in Europe.

A film festival in Roanne! Fan of 7e art, I never miss an edition. From year to year the program grows and offers beautiful cinematographic works that sometimes come from around the world. A good way to travel sitting in a red armchair!
