Mifa Pitches

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!
