Affiche de la Cité internationale du cinéma d'animation, réalisée par Laurent Durieux // Cité internationale du cinéma d'animation's poster, illustrated by Laurent Durieux
In conjunction with its opening, the Cité is unveiling an original poster designed by Laurent Durieux, who created the iconic poster for the 2022 Annecy Festival.
"By creating an image that is both mysterious and poetic, where a dreamlike imaginary world takes centre stage, I sought to establish a clear connection with the poster I designed for the Annecy Festival in 2022. This time, the boats float upwards from the lake towards the sky and the Cité emerges in a fluid animated sequence. The image conveys the concept of a Cité in perpetual motion, symbolising its global outlook while being firmly rooted in its territory, Annecy, and its lake."
