Montreal’s Les Sommets du cinéma d’animation kicks off today and runs through May 15.
For this year’s edition – its twentieth – the festival has curated 114 animated films from around the world, including an expansive group of Canadian films which will, for the first time, be screened across four competition sections.
“The new format of the Sommets was made possible by a much larger selection of Canadian works than what we used to offer,” explained Marco de Blois, artistic director and founder of the Sommets du cinéma d’animation. “Through the various approaches, from experimental to narrative films, including music videos, commissioned films and educational ones, an extraordinary know-how is displayed on the screens of the Cinémathèque Québécoise.”
