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

Road to 2025
Annecy will be hosting the leading names in Hungarian animation in 2025, from 8th to 14th June. For Marcel Jean, the Artistic Director:
The rich history of Hungarian animation has never wavered and the recent successes of films by Flóra Anna Buda (27), Balázs Turai (Amok), Nadja Andrasev (Symbiosis) and Áron Gauder (Four Souls of Coyote) are proof of the cultural dynamism and profound uniqueness of this country’s production.
The news was announced in the presence of György Ráduly, Director of the National Hungarian Film Archives.
