After this exceptional seven-day event attracting 17,400 accredited attendees from 103 countries and renowned international guests, the jury of the world’s leading animation film meet announced their award winners.

Every year, the Annecy Festival welcomes passionate industry professionals, highly-motivated students and a dynamic public all with the same desire: to meet and experience the magic of animation film in cinema theatres.

This year’s record attendance highlights the vitality of the sector in a fast-evolving industry. We will continue to encourage existing synergies between the 7th art and other disciplines. We are proud to be a part of the dynamic development and widespread recognition of animation.

But most of all, we are proud to see that the cinema continues to attract audiences of all kinds and in particular the younger generation. We are convinced that animation film, in all its diversity, plays a key role in drawing audiences into cinema theatres.

The Annecy 2024 Award Winners demonstrate a remarkable synchrony between the official juries’ choices and those of the public. In fact, two of the three films voted for by the public also received an award from the juries. We can be proud of the gender parity that shines through this awards list, which gives pride of place to female filmmakers, awards a second Cristal for a Feature Film to Adam Elliot and concludes the tribute to Portuguese animation with a Cristal for a Short Film presented to Percebes by Laura Gonçalves and Alexandra Ramires.

Marcel Jean, the Festival’s Artistic Director

After Portugal, with its fado rhythms and dazzling blue azulejos, Annecy will be hosting the leading names in Hungarian animation in 2025, which will run from 8th to 14th June 2025.
