French Digi: Next Gen

Enjoy a showcase of the best of work from the next generation of French digital artists and animators.

For some time, Supinfocom has been the dominant digital animation school in France. But there are some new kids on the block and here at MIAF we have been watching them go from strength to strength in recent years. Schools such as Pole3D, École des Nouvelles Images and ArtFX, ESMA and École Georges Méliès are sending us showreels that include increasingly complex and fascinating films.

This program showcases the best of this work from the next generation of French digital artists and animators. And as we always do, we’re looking for that essential blend of the animator’s powerful vision, great technique and the most imaginative use of animation.
