The filmfestivals.com website announced on Tuesday that Shinichiro Kimura’s 2010 anime film Junod will screen at the Animation Day in Cannes event in Cannes, France on May 23.
The event launched in 2015 to “facilitate the promotion of Animation during the Cannes Film Festival which does not [traditionally] offer a window for animators besides the likes of Pixar or Disney.”
The event is independent of the Cannes Film Festival.
The main Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 17-28.
