Considering the significance of this evolutionary period, the author attended the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, the largest and most historical one in the world, in order to research the changes taking place in the animation world. MIFA, professional conferences, creative focus, and a job fair were held in parallel with the film festival. This report focuses on the film festival, MIFA, creative focus, and the job fair.
