Ron Dyens, the Oscar-winning producer of Flow, visits Animac to present a retrospective that takes a look back at Sacrebleu Productions’ most emblematic shorts. The French company has long been an icon in independent animation circles thanks to a filmography that combines formal risk, visual poetry and narrative boldness. More recently, they’ve also become a symbol of resilience and resistance for artists around the world, thus solidifying their global prestige.
