Fête du Filmmaking: Animating London One Frame at a Time
The Institut français: Animation Meet Collaboration
Looks like the French aren’t just good at making wine and baguettes! They’ve decided to bring world-class 3D Animation to the table—or rather screen—with the 22nd edition of the Fête du Cinéma d’Animation. And it’s not just a Parisian party; this animation celebration is set to have a global footprint! Oui Oui, Disney and Pixar, you’ve got competition!
Frogs, Snails and… 3D Animation?
The impressive array of over 250 venues and schools joining hands for this event just goes to show how much everyone’s drawn (pun intended) to the magic of animation. Put down your textbooks and croissants, because from the 14th to 29th, it’s all about the ‘lights, camera, and action’!
In conclusion, it’s clear that the French are not letting their cheese stand alone! They are taking their savoir-faire global, and the scope of this festival speaks volumes about how 3D animation is not just about entertaining–it’s a cultural movement with a global impact. So, grab your beret and get ready to say bonjour to the 22nd Fête du Cinéma d’Animation. Here’s to swimming in a sea of world-class animations, flanked by courses of French finesse and a bottle of good cheer. Or as the French would say, “C’est la vie en 3D!”
