Juries

Jury of international short films

We are delighted to introduce the jury for the international short film competition, made up of three major voices in animation: Joanna Quinn, a cornerstone of British animation celebrated for her witty, hand-drawn storytelling, winner of two Emmy Awards, four BAFTAs, and two Oscar nominations; Andrew Ruhemann, director and creative director at Passion Pictures and Oscar winner for The Lost Thing; and Anne Verbeure, an emerging Belgian filmmaker whose shorts Red Giant and The Golden Donkey have already earned awards at multiple festivals.

Next, meet the jury for the national short film competition: Jean Tourette, founder of Kiblind and the IF‑Illustration Festival in Lyon; Pieter Van Houte, Creative Director who supervised the VFX for films including The Triplets of Belleville, Hugo, The Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers: Infinity War, and Okja; and Veronika Zacharová, freelance illustrator, animator, and director, known for numerous award-winning projects, who was also at Anima last year with Hello Summer.

The two other official juries (for young audiences and feature films) will be revealed later, along with other important announcements about the selection.
