Pont-l'Évêque Animation Film Festival

Over twenty years of animated cinema

The Pont-l'Évêque Animation Film Festival is a major cinematic event in Calvados, organized every winter by the Association du Cinéma Le Concorde, chaired by Michel Lepaisant, who is also president of the UCIA. Since its creation in 2003, the festival has established itself as a must-attend event for animation film lovers in Normandy.

A program between tradition and innovation

The festival invites the public on a journey into the fascinating world of animation, where imagination knows no bounds. The program blends traditional creations (cartoons, stop-motion) and digital innovations (3D animation, special effects), featuring films for all ages. Each edition offers new screenings, internationally award-winning films, and classics of the genre, with several sessions per day.

A historic art-house gem

The Cinéma Le Concorde offers a unique setting: a former theatre transformed into a cinema in the 1930s, it combines historic walls with state-of-the-art digital equipment. Classified as art-house, it hosts cultural events throughout the year, with the Animation Film Festival being its winter highlight. The friendly and immersive atmosphere of the venue fully contributes to the festival experience.
