Mature Audiences
The Animation First Student Shorts Competition is back for its second edition! The competition features the work of emerging talent from some of the most renowned animation schools in France and the United States: Gobelins, l’École de l’Image (Paris), RUBIKA (Valenciennes), EMCA (Angoulême), École des Nouvelles Images (Avigon), California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) (California), Ringling College of Art and Design (Florida), School of Visual Arts (SVA NYC) (New York), and Savannah College of Art and Design SCAD (Georgia).
Each school selected five graduation films from the class of 2021. They are divided into two programs—one featuring the American films and the other featuring the French ones.
Acclaimed animator Kristof Serrand (The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda, and Abominable), will preside over the jury composed of two students from each of the schools. The jury will award prizes to the Best French Film and Best American Film. Winners will receive a one-on-one session with Serrand to discuss their work and receive his invaluable advice. Winners will be announced during a live online awards ceremony on Saturday, February 19 at 2pm ET. The award ceremony is free and open to all.
