In 2023, Mexican animation will be in the spotlight, and we entrusted the Annecy Festival’s official poster design to Animator and Director Jorge R. Gutierrez, who will also be one of our jury members. An aficionado of Mexican culture and folklore, he has created a genuine joyous and heart-warming firework display of references announcing a very colourful edition!

"Jorge’s work is deeply rooted in Mexican popular culture and folklore, but it is also zealously festive. He flaunts a generous, Baroque, and colourful artistry that is full of surprises, which incarnates the Festival’s very spirit. This poster invites you to come and party with us!"
Marcel Jean, the Annecy Festival’s Artistic Director

"The poster is very inspired by all the spectacular nighttime parties at our beloved Festival. A Mexican 'Xochimilco trajinera' boat arrives on Lake Annecy carrying lots of happy and excited Mexicans ready to party", he explained. "The city itself is glowing, it's shining like a warm magical place", he adds in this video.
