Academy Award®-nominated French animation studio Xilam Animation is returning to Annecy International Animation Film Festival – taking place on 8th – 14th June 2025 – with a wave of activity across its latest features and series. Upcoming ambitious family feature Lucy Lost is part of Annecy’s official ‘Work In Progress’ sessions, which offer first looks at features and series in production, with Xilam’s Founder and CEO Marc du Pontavice participating alongside key creatives including director and co-writer Olivier Clert (Klaus, Little Prince). Xilam is also showcasing new original titles across its burgeoning slate during the festival, including “Submarine Jim”, “Piggy Builders” and “Turbo Twins”.
Xilam’s raft of Annecy activity follows the recently announced partnership with commercial French broadcaster TF1 to develop Turbo Twins, a new comedy action CG animation series for kids aged 6-10 years old.
Marc du Pontavice, Founder and CEO at Xilam Animation, said: “As we return to one of the key events in our calendar, our line-up for Annecy once again offers something for everyone in the family – from epic film adventures to vibrant comedy series. We look forward to unveiling a first glimpse into our moving and powerful film Lucy Lost, and to also presenting our diverse slate of new kids’ series, which blends both original ideas as well as beloved IPs. Our flourishing development and production pipeline is testament to the leading creativity of our talent, and also to the strength of our relationships with key European broadcasters, such as France Télévisions, TF1, BBC, Super RTL and ZDF.”
