Hey art lovers! We’ve got some exciting news from the Cannes Film Festival. Specifically, the Critics’ Week section is launching its 65th year with a big splash!
This year, they’re shaking things up. They’re opening with an animated feature called ‘In Waves.’ How cool is that?
It’s the first time an animated movie gets to open this special part of Cannes. The vibe sounds super dreamy, set in California. We can already picture the colors and the aesthetic!
The director, Phuong Mai Nguyen, is making her debut with this film. We can’t wait to see what she’s created.
And for the grand finale? They’re closing with ‘Adieu monde cruel,’ a coming-of-age story by Félix de Givry. Sounds like a mix of heartfelt stories this year!
Our Take
We’re so thrilled to see animation getting this kind of spotlight at a major festival like Cannes. It proves that cartoons are for everyone and can tell powerful, beautiful stories. Go, animation!
