Annecy Film Festival CEO & MIFA Director Visit Sang Y: Opening doors on the global stage

On February 20th 2025, Sang Y had the honor of welcoming Annecy Film Festival CEO, Mr. Mickaël Marin, and MIFA General Director, Ms. Véronique Encrenaz. This visit marks a significant milestone in the international journey of Sang Y Group and the Vietnamese animation industry as a whole.

Mr. Mickaël Marin and Ms. Véronique Encrenaz attentively explored Sang Y's IP projects.

During the visit, the delegation from Annecy Film Festival and MIFA had the opportunity to to explore the IP projects that Sang Y is developing, spanning all three brands within the Sang Y Group ecosystem. Praising the artistic style and animation quality, the esteemed guests acknowledged Sang Y's impressive growth within Vietnam. Mr. Mickaël Marin, in particular, highlighted the studio’s creative energy, ambition, and potential to make an impact on the international stage - an impression he later reinforced in a LinkedIn comment.

More than just a presentation, this visit was a meeting of creative minds and industry leaders, leading to in-depth discussions about the future of Vietnamese animation. Sang Y not only shared its passion and creative vision but also reaffirmed its position on the global animation map, alongside Vexa and Avalook, two brands within the Sang Y Group ecosystem.

This remarkable event was not just a memorable milestone but also opened doors for future collaborations between Sang Y Group, Annecy Film Festival, and MIFA. These are two major players in the global animation landscape - one being the world’s most prestigious animation film festival, and the other a leading marketplace connecting producers and investors worldwide.

Sang Y Group representatives were delighted to welcome the guests

Further emphasizing Sang Y’s impact, Mr. Mickaël Marin mentioned the studio in a press conference on February 21st, 2025, regarding the development of Franco-Vietnamese animated cinema, recognizing Sang Y as one of the standout Vietnamese studios in terms of animation quality. This reinforces Sang Y’s growing reputation on the international stage.

This invaluable meeting would not have been possible without the dedicated support of Jeremy Segay - Regional Audiovisual Attaché at the French Embassy in Vietnam, who played a key role in fostering this connection and facilitating new opportunities.

Once again, Sang Y Group extends its sincere gratitude to our distinguished guests for their time, insights, and invaluable perspectives. With such promising prospects ahead, could we soon see Sang Y at the Vietnam Pavilion in Annecy Film Festival and MIFA this summer? Stay tuned for the exciting journey ahead!
