Marie-Monique Steckel, President of the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), welcomes you to Animation First, the only film festival in the United States dedicated to the unparalleled legacy and enduring ingenuity of France’s animation studios and schools.


This fourth edition of FIAF’s flagship film festival will be presented entirely online and will be available nationwide from February 5–15.


Animation First 2021 promises to be the richest in the Festival’s history. We are delighted to have so many exciting new films, cult classics, and our first American special guest, Wes Anderson. It’s particularly gratifying to offer, across the United States, at a very affordable price, the chance to discover the amazing world of French animation.” — Marie-Monique Steckel
