The winners of this year's Annecy International Animation Festival were announced online today (Saturday, June 20). The program, which was held online this year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, will continue throughout the month on Annecy.org. Among this year's top winners are Rémi Chayé's lush and colorful 2D animated feature Calamity, a childhood of Martha Jane Cannary and the critically acclaimed short film by Theodore Ushev The physics of pain, who also won a grand prix in Ottawa last year.
