THE ANIMAUTEURS: 50 YEARS OF FRENCH ANIMATION
A tantalizing collection of recent works from some of France’s most creative and influential animators.

Also included are current Oscar nominated French Roast from Fabrice Joubert, the Oscar nominated Oktapodi, and additional award-winning shorts from cartoon masters Serge Elissalde, Marie Caillou, Jerome Boulbes and others.
