Annecy, César-Winning Feature ‘Chicken For Linda!’ Will Get A Limited U.S. Theatrical Run Starting April 5

GKIDS is distributing the family feature from celebrated husband-and-wife filmmakers Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach.

Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach’s latest feature topped stiff competition in ‘No Dogs or Italians Allowed’ and ‘Mars Express.’

The year’s race features a 1920s-set stop-motion immigration tale, a vibrant mother-daughter story, and a sci-fi noir thriller.

Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach’s feature won the jury and audience awards, while Tal Kantor’s ‘Letter to a Pig’ won best short.

Five features fill out this year’s too-close-to-call animated feature category, while only one animated short made this year’s list.

Among the selections is ‘Chicken for Linda!’ which won the top feature film prize at Annecy last month.

The biggest Annecy ever, by a lot, wrapped tonight with an awards gala befitting its incredible competition lineups.

This year, 23 features will compete at Annecy, 11 in the official competition and 12 in Contrechamp.

Sébastien Laudenbach and Chiara Malta re-team on the colorful animated feature about a high-stakes grocery run.

Annecy will host early looks at projects from Naoko Yamada, Genndy Tartakovsky, Aardman Animations, Skydance Animation, Tonko House, and others.
