2022 Annecy Festival Residency
In June 2020 CITIA launched the arts residency "Graphic development for animation feature film" to assist creation.
This 2nd Residency reached its end on 30th June 2022.
The Residency
With backing from the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Département de la Haute-Savoie, Drac, CNC and Netflix, as well as TVPaint, Wacom and MSI helping with technical aspects, CITIA, the organisers of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and the Mifa, wanted to continue supporting animation feature film writers by giving them the time and a place to create, to network, to provide increased visibility, and continuous project support.
The Annecy Festival Residency provides a tailor-made offer to each of the selected projects, in an inspiring and stimulating ecosystem, as well as connecting with esteemed mentors in the animation sector.

The 2022 call for projects
Following the call for projects in June 2022, 30 projects were submitted, 11 of which led by women, from 19 countries. In addition to the geographical diversity, this 2nd edition has revealed a variety of styles and genres, as well as less focus on projects for young audiences.
Therefore, it is among the committed and engaging projects leaning towards teen-adults that the consensus was reached by the selection committee comprising: Sara Wikler (Artistic Film Producer, Blue Spirit, Script Consultant), Damien Brunner (Producer, Folivari), Éléa Gobbé-Mévellec (Director), Laurence Petit (Distributor, Haut et Court) and Jérémy Clapin (Director).
The Advisory Committee brought together Catherine Puthod (Head of Film, Audiovisual and New Media, Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), Éloïse Braets (Head of the Territorial Cultural Development Unit, Département de la Haute-Savoie) as well as Marie Le Gac (Head of Development, Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Cinéma).
The winning projects in 2022
A member from each of the three projects has been hosted in Annecy by CITIA to join this second Annecy Festival Residency from 4th April to 30th June 2022.
