Films included in Résolument Animés were created by some of the biggest names in French animated cinema as well as new talent from the best French schools. The films include humor, visual poetry, and wonder.  Animation techniques/media employed include drawing on paper, drawing on film, pen and ink, crayon, paper cutouts, clay, sand, 3D animation, and puppetry.  The films in the program address a wide range of issues such as the environment, society, and human relations.

The short films in the program exhibit the talent and creativity in the dynamic French animation industry, which has seen outstanding growth in recent years.  Résolument Animés showcases exemplary works coming out of France, with rich screenplays and well-mastered technique.

The Résolument Animés project has been made possible thanks to the collaboration between the External Audiovisual Services Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, which promotes French cinema in the world, and the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.  The Directorate for Cultural Coopération and French-Language Promotion has also taken part in this project.
