  • About the NFB

    The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is a leader in exploring animation as an artform, a storytelling medium and innovative content for emerging platforms. It produces trailblazing animated works both in its Montreal studios and across  the country, and it works with many of the world’s leading creators on international co-productions. NFB productions have won more than 7,000 awards, including seven Oscars for NFB animation and seven grand prizes at the Annecy festival. To access this unique content, visit NFB.ca.

  • About Folimage

    Founded in 1981 by Jacques-Rémy Girerd, since 2016 Folimage has been part of the Hildegarde Group, founded and headed by Reginald de Guillebon. Headquartered in Valence, France, the studio upholds an exacting editorial line, seeking the perspectives of creators who craft unconventional visual realms using wholly original animation techniques. Its artist-in-residence program, which has produced shorts by international animators for the past 25 years, perfectly exemplifies that philosophy. Over the decades, this animation universe has combined production and filmmaking with services and distribution, adapting to the ever-shifting market.
