Oscar Shortlist Interviews: Director Flóra Anna Buda Shares Her Favorite Shot From ’27’ (Exclusive)

In this exclusive series, the filmmakers behind each of this year’s Oscar-shortlisted shorts reveal their favorite shots.

The short earned Oscars qualification by winning the Cannes Palme d’Or and later took the Annecy Cristal for a short film.

We’ve seen all 40 of this year’s competition shorts and picked out 10 that we think everyone at the festival should watch.

Standouts from this year’s lineup include Annecy titles ’27,’ ‘Electra,’ ‘La Perra,’ ‘Nun or Never!’ and ‘Baigal Nuur – Lake Baikal.’

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

We’ve put together a list of ten shorts that demonstrate the breadth and diversity available at this year’s Annecy Festival.

’27’ is the first animated short to win the prize since ‘Waves ’98’ did so in 2015.

Buda talks to us about how her work has evolved since ‘Entropia’ and what she wants to do differently on her next film.

We speak with some of the school’s graduates to find out what they liked – and didn’t like – about this iconic animation program.

The teams behind three projects pitched at Annecy’s MIFA market tell us what was gained — and lost — in the shift to virtual pitching.

An Egyptian fantasy, a transgender murder mystery, an apocalyptic coming-of-age tragicomedy, and more…

Four animated shorts will compete at the Berlin Int’l Film Festival next month.

Selling your own project is not easy, but it’s possible. Here are some tips to take your animation pitch to the next level.
