2023 Animation du Monde Label

Marvel at the Animation du Monde labelled projects, extraordinary little gems that will seduce you with their authentic stories, their unique hand, or their authors’ fearlessness and merit.
A label that wants to be inclusive so that animation has no boundaries!

Submissions for the 2024 Mifa Pitches are closed.

Support without borders

Since 2015, dozens of territories (South Africa, Georgia, Lebanon, Thailand, Equator, Armenia, Cameroon, etc.) were supported by the Mifa teams to conduct on-site workshops, develop local projects, and give them visibility at Annecy.

The primary drive has always been to provide opportunities to authors, but also to meet the men and women on-site who could be tomorrow’s inspiration. Supported by institutions, festivals, or local collectives, by the Instituts français and Alliances françaises, the actions have been consistently successful and remain among the Mifa teams’ flagship missions.

The Animation du Monde label can be obtained by participating in these workshops, but also through open applications: the AGrAF authors identify and assist writers from emerging territories in each of the categories in the selection.

The 2023 Projects
Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Burkina-Faso, Colombia, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, and Uruguay. In 2023, almost a third of the projects submitted are from territories where the animation industry is just emerging or getting established. An outstanding evolution that justifies the Mifa teams’ initiatives even more this year.

This trend is also found in the selection with 9 Animation du Monde labelled projects among the 32 projects selected.

This is a powerful endorsement, as these projects are asserting their identity and making their mark!

As a reminder, the Ciudadoras project was selected during the Shortway scheme in partnership with Pixelatl.

Pitchs Mifa

Mifa Pitches

Each year, the Mifa Pitches aim to showcase the best original animation film projects in development. Initially in 4 categories — Feature Films, Short Films, TV Series & Specials and Immersive Experiences — the Pitches are becoming more elaborate every year. And for Mifa 2025, a new Mifa Pitch session dedicated to animated documentaries will be launched.

These Pitch sessions are a privileged time to discover the universes and sensitivities in their own right, which reflect young international creativity.

Mifa Pitches Presentation

This year, more than 700 project leaders from across the world apply to the Mifa Pitches with the aim of presenting their project to a professional audience at Annecy who are searching for original content.
A tough selection process in all the categories usually gives about 40 projects their opportunity. You can see them each year at the Mifa during the 4 Pitch sessions, specific to each format.
An exclusive myriad of the current creations to allow you to be the first to position yourself on tomorrow’s projects!
