The Kitchen will once again participate in the Annecy International Animation Film Festival , from June 21 to 27, an event that has been held in France since 1960.

Annecy brings together creators from around the world to celebrate innovation and excellence in animated storytelling. The festival presents hundreds of works in various categories, including feature films, short films, television series, student films, and commissioned productions. Its top prize, the Cristal Award, is considered one of the most coveted achievements in the animation industry.

Running concurrently with the festival is MIFA, the International Animation Film Market, one of the industry's leading business and networking forums . Studios, producers, distributors, and investors present projects, secure funding, and negotiate international distribution deals.

As a creative localization partner, The Kitchen helps program content reach global audiences while preserving the narrative, humor, emotion, and cultural authenticity. With 25 years of experience, the company has built a strong reputation as a trusted partner for producers, distributors, networks, studios, and independent professionals.

With TPN Gold accreditation, The Kitchen reduces risks, protects creative intent, and streamlines delivery through sophisticated workflow systems.

“Our goal, as always,” says Liz Clarke, Global Sales Director, based in London, “is to help our clients reach new audiences, in new languages and new territories. Our clients come to us for creative and cultural advice on content adaptation, and our global teams pride themselves on their deep knowledge of content localization for all languages, ages, and ethnicities.”

The studio has provided ongoing language services for major global animation franchises, including Masha and the Bear, Blippi, Barbie, Talking Tom, Sesame Street, Pocoyo, South Park, My Hero Academia, The Smurfs, Cocomelón, Hot Wheels and Living with Dad , among many others.

“It’s exciting to discover what’s new, what the future holds, and to share our knowledge about countries, languages, audiences, and much more,” Clarke added. “I’m thrilled to represent The Kitchen in Annecy and look forward to sharing everything we have to offer to content creators and providers from around the world.”
