Annecy 2020 Increases Seating Capacity 26% for 60th Anniversary
Skwigly
Adaptation, services and support will once again be the key words for Annecy Animation Festival‘s 60th anniversary edition.
After another increase in participation (12,300 badge-holders), Annecy Festival have taken it to heart to maintain a high level of excellence by improving access into the theatres, and to guarantee the best possible experience for badge-holders.
In 2020 there will be 21,700 extra seats available for festival goers. To summarise how this festivals will be the biggest yet:
- New venues, new theatres and 10 additional screenings per day starting from 8:30 or 9:00 am (at the Bonlieu Grande salle and Petite salle for example), creating the opportunity to satisfy a greater number of festivalgoers.
- Morning screenings will be useful for professionals wishing to attend screenings before meetings, early-birds, and of course animation fans!
- The salle Pierre Lamy opens its doors as soon as 7:00 pm directly after the Work in Progress.
- Two new cinema theatres that will programme the Festival: the Auditorium Seynod and Le Rabelais, Meythet.
- Badge-holders will have exclusive and privileged admission to Bonlieu for all the screenings.
Along with Dominique Puthod, President of CITIA, and Marcel Jean, Artistic Director, our priority is to enable each festivalgoer to access the theatres in the best possible conditions. For the 60th anniversary, and in order to respond to the significant growth of the last editions, we wanted to considerably increase our seating capacity. Annecy 2020 will offer more screenings, more theatres for a Festival that must address the next decade with the ambition of sustainable growth that puts the comfort of the festival-goer at the heart of its policy.
– Mickaël Marin, CEO
The 60th anniversary will be an exceptional edition and we hope that it will be a fantastic experience for you!
Accreditations open online at the end of January 2020, and the festival will take place between 15th to 20th June.
