Return from Annecy 2024 !

Big debut for stop-motion TV special A Guitar in the sea that we distribute !

Sophie Roze wins the Cristal and the audience award in the Television Films category !

"A weasel, whose absurd job consists of going door to door selling ties, travels the country roads. Considered harmful, perpetually wandering, she decides to try her luck in the forest. His destiny will then change thanks to the unconditional help of a hedgehog.. The arrival of a third character, an uprooted capybara, forced to flee his country for what we guess are climatic reasons, will lead the weasel to take part in a mutual aid process and finally, to find its definitive place.”

Production : JPL Films, Nadasdy Film

On his side, Tennis, oranges, by Sean Pecknold, selected in competition at the festival, featured in the Zippy Frames article « Annecy Festival 2024: The Best Animation Shorts » !
