REVIEWS
To say that Yvonne Grzenkowicz’s curation is stellar is an understatement. Those of us who have attended ANNY screenings since Yvonne began them remain in awe, and will drop almost anything we can possibly drop to not miss a screening.
She is a source of such tremendous intelligence and inspiration —in our lives and in our art. I sincerely consider ANNY one of my core reasons for living in New York.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s been really an awesome opportunity to be part of this team of filmmakers and animators for this inaugural unique experience in Cannes. For sure, the film will have a big step forward with the screening in the festival, and all we have to say is a big and warm thanks to ANNY and all their impressive supportive team.
– André Luiz Machado, Guilherme and Iuri Araújo (Saturn Voyager Team), Brazil
A fantastic event. It really is a perfect opportunity for artists, animators, filmmakers and creatives to nerd out and watch the best of the best together.
– Anthony Galante.

Thank you once again for including us in your VR Showcase. We met some fantastic people and really enjoy being involved with the Animation Nights New York community. You’ve achieved something really wonderful, and we look forward to collaborating more in the future!

It has very good projects. Amazing
– Lina Pinilla
ANNY has given our studio a great platform to showcase our film to the rest of the world at no cost at all. It’s incredible that a studio as young as ours, and from Uganda no less can interact and network with filmmakers from across the world thanks to the ANNY Cannes program and the Animation Nights. We’re excited for even more opportunities that come out of our association with ANNY.
– Robin Malinga, Uganda
It’s an excellent venue for animated shorts. Thank you for setting this up.
– Sergio Curbelo
I can only say that in60seconds and I are really happy and excited to get the chance to show our film to a bigger audience. And this all provided by ANNY which deserves a big thumbs up for the organisation so far. You are always able to answer questions very quickly and are clear in communication. And we can’t wait to meet you and the fellow filmmakers in Cannes!
