The Annecy animation festival, the world’s largest gathering of industry pros and students, has revealed more programming highlights for its upcoming edition, taking place June 13-18.
Among the big news is two work-in-progress sessions showing first footage from a couple of hotly anticipated projects: the French feature film adaptation of Arthur de Pins’ comic series Zombillenium (pictured top) and Genndy Tartakovsky’s reboot of Samurai Jack for Adult Swim, in which he’ll finally conclude the story.
Another major event will be a masterclass by John Kricfalusi, who will be appearing at Annecy for the first time in his career. It’s a fitting moment for Kricfalusi to head to France since this year marks the 25th anniversary of his revolutionary TV series, Ren & Stimpy.
