[CARTOON MOVIE 2027]
🎥 A new journey into the world of European animated feature films begins here! ✨ Cartoon Movie will return to Bordeaux from 2 to 4 March 2027.

🎨 We're delighted to unveil the poster for the upcoming edition and introduce the talented artist behind it. 🇧🇪 This year’s artwork was created by Belgian illustrator Julie Hoyas, whose poetic and luminous illustrations are deeply inspired by nature. Through her distinctive use of gouache and watercolour, she creates intimate and dreamlike worlds.

🪶 For Cartoon Movie 2027, Julie transports us into a poetic landscape, where mystery, imagination and a sense of wonder come together.

📢 Stay tuned! Project submissions and registration will open in October.

In the meantime, see you in Annecy! Come and have a chat with the CARTOON team at the Mifa, booth F.02. 🤗
