And now, dear traveller, the tour is done;
Through haunted pages we’ve had our fun.
From Western crypts to Eastern skies,
The dead have stirred before our eyes.

But here, at last, the harvest’s deep —
Twelve chosen terrors ours to keep.
With bonus haunts to chill and stare,
We dine with dread in devil’s lair.

So carve your pumpkins as the veil grows thin —
The season of horrors now begins.
Turn the page — embrace the lore,
For OtakunoCulture’s haunt endures evermore…

Although Annecy is not screening Coyote vs. Acme after news this movie has been saved from being shelved, there’s plenty of other works to look forward to, and I got my top picks!

Annecy Film Festival Runs from June 8th to 14th

Also, The National Film Board of Canada often has a work or two to showcase. What I offer are my top picks in what to see for those able to attend. Some films have been entered official competition and others will make their debuts. The quotes are from Annecy’s webpage and I’ve included some commentary on other works I have knowledge on.

There’s a few that even have a date for regular release, and I can’t wait! The movies with known dates will have this entry.

“Sylvain Chomet makes his comeback with this feature film dedicated to Marcel Pagnol. It is such a delight to see the filmmaker’s sophisticated graphics again, and for the first time he uses dialogue to capture the musical Marseille accent.”
