Don't miss our recommended events:

• Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the world’s largest event dedicated to animation returns in June: From 11th to 17th June, the event gathers together the biggest names in the sector and celebrates the creative and diverse animation styles and techniques.
• Until 24th June, the Galerie Roger-Viollet in Paris presents Alain Adler, Cinema Photography on a Set. His work is a formidable testimony of French cinema in full mutation, at a time when the New Wave emerges in the wake of and in opposition to the classic post-war cinema.
