Take a meeting with the team during EFM to book your presence 

With a resounding yes it is clear that Animaze Daze fills a void in the animation community at the larger festivals such as Cannes and Berlin. This year, into the second edition, the Animation Day will bring a more comprehensive and very ambitious program featuring guest animators, panels, homages, accolades, networking opportunities, demos and party!  If you have animation, if you want animation, if you like animation, if you look for financiers and partners in animation...just block your agenda for May 18th.

Contact us at bruno@m21entertainment.com or laurie@animazefestival.com for more info. Get involved!

Submit your work to be listed in the Animation Catalo, and enter your details in the Who's Where in Cannes Animation
