Let’s Get Animated!
A Celebration of Animated Films

La Fête du Cinéma d’Animation or the Celebration of Animated Films is a unique initiative with the goal of promoting animated films in France and abroad. An homage to Charles-Émile Reynaud, who is credited with being the first person to project animated films, the event takes place around October 28 every year. This date corresponds to the first public projection of animated strips in the world at Musée Grévin (Paris) on October 28, 1892.

In partnership with the Association Française du Cinéma d’Animation (AFCA), the French Institute in India (IFI) and the Lycée Français International de Mumbai (LFIM), we will be screening animated films throughout October 2019 to celebrate the 18th Edition of the Celebration of Animated Films.

Please refer to the conditions of entry highlighted below (including age restrictions) !

11am – Griffes, plumes, poils et moustaches series (40′)

A specially-curated series for very young audiences consisting of short films about animals, freedom, and wild life.

Exclusively for students of LFIM

2pm – Le Tableau by Jean-François Laguionie (75′)

For mysterious reasons, a painter has left a work incomplete thereby causing conflict between the Toupins (Allduns) who are entirely painted, the Pafinis (Halfies) who lack a few colors, and the Reufs (Sketchies) who are only sketches. Three friends, one from each category, go on a quest to find the artist so that the piece can be completed and the people united.
