Folimage

Folimage studio was founded at Valence in 1984, stemming from the passion for quality animation, the taste for educational values and a strong commitment shared by its founders, Jacques-Remy Girerd, Pascal le Notre and Serge Besset. This studio has already given birth to more than 100 author films – shorts, series, TV specials and also commissioned films… A great many of those in-house productions and films made by artists in residence at the studio (by now a ten year old tradition) did not fail to reap awards in abundance through the whole world, owing to their quality and their wide range of artistic accomplishment. At the present time, Folimage is completing its first animated feature film Frogs' Prophecy, which will be released next Christmas.
 

AFCA

The French Animated Film Association (AFCA) has been active in the promotion of animated films in France and abroad since 1971. To achieve this goal it organizes every month in Paris a screening called "Animathèque", programs of short animated films shown all over France and the French Animated Film Festival in Auch (near Toulouse, in the southwest of France) every two years.
Furthermore, it publishes a monthly newsletter. Specialized literature about the subject is also published occasionally. It also proposes professional meetings, a website (www.afca.asso.fr), a research department, including a consulting video library. AFCA counts more than 260 members and also represents the International Animated Film Association (ASIFA) in France. In October 2002, it took the opportunity of the first International Animation Day to launch the very first national animated celebration, which will take place every year.
