“More than ever we need a sense of solidarity and sharing. More than ever we must celebrate the cinema and all those that make it possible.

Annecy was immensely proud to be a part of We are One.

Thanks to Tribeca for conjuring up this wonderful joint adventure between festivals and thanks to the rights holders for answering our call.

We hope that the public will discover or rediscover works and artists that we admire and that constitute the richness of our art.

Long live the cinema, long live animation film!”
