Annecy
2008 begins!
Amidst
a valley in the Alps, by the lake
in a picturesque, pretty, artisans’
town, it’s underway and it’s
simply fabulous! For
all those who are not at Annecy,
you are really missing something!
This is a really special festival
and the fact that India is the
country of honour adds to this
mesmerizing affair.Read |

"I
want to make life"
VincentLeGarrec
as he called himself,
was a student of Ecole
Europeene Supereure
De l' Image. From
an arts background,
Vincent moved into
animation around a
year ago. "I
completed my first
short film a few months
ago" he shared,
"Unmatindepeche'
my film can be seen
on my blog at http://blog.shivart.com.
We are around four
students in my batch

doing our own short

alone, I preferred
to make the entire
film on my own."
