'We Are Aliens' Credits: Nothing New, Miyu Productions Credits: Nothing New, Miyu Productions Japan‘s presence at the 2026 Annecy Animation Festival marks a recent high-water mark, with 25 Japanese films selected across the festival’s competitive and non-competitive sections – up from 18 last year – as the country’s industry bodies simultaneously consolidate their MIFA footprint under a unified booth structure.
Three booths that previously operated separately have been brought together for this edition: the Japan Booth, run by UniJapan; VIPO; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, with the Agency for Cultural Affairs providing overarching leadership of the combined effort. The consolidation is designed to allow Japan to present a strong, collective front to international partners at the market.
