With more than 11 films in competition and six additional titles featured in out‑of‑competition sections and special programs, Canada stands out once again at France’s Annecy Animation Film Festival and its lakeside market, MIFA. 

A confirmation of the push powered by Canada’s key cultural institutions last year, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and Téléfilm Canada are joining forces with Canada Media Fund (CMF) to build a new initiative, Canada Morning!, highlighting Canada’s innovation and partnership opportunities while positioning as trailblazers in the global animation market.
