A cinematic weekend imagined by a new generation

A Release Party is above all an invitation to discover what comes out of the minds of young digital artists.

Animation, cinema, visual effects, storytelling, humour, emotion, imagination… The films from the Class of 2026 explore a wide range of genres, tones and universes. Comedies, fantasy stories, adventures, quirky narratives and more sensitive stories: each team develops its own vision and creates a world to share with audiences.

These short films also reflect the concerns, references, poetry, humour and stories that inhabit a new generation of creators.

From 2D animation to VFX: ARTFX expertise on screen

The Release Party also highlights the diversity of the programmes and skills developed at ARTFX. The films from the Class of 2026 draw on a wide range of techniques taught at the school:

Each project gives students the opportunity to put their skills in artistic development, animation, directing, visual effects, compositing, 3D and storytelling into practice, bringing their own universes to life.

From animated films to visual effects, these projects all share the same ambition: to tell stories and create images that can surprise and captivate audiences.

“Unique perspectives expressed through laughter, emotion, the strange, the absurd and the spectacular!”

An exclusive premiere to enjoy with the whole family

Are you a high school student, a prospective student, a parent, or simply curious about careers in cinema, 2D and 3D animation, VFX and visual effects? The ARTFX Release Party is an opportunity to discover what students can create at the end of their studies at ARTFX.

It is also a chance to get a glimpse into careers in digital creation and discover, through student projects, the wide range of possibilities offered by ARTFX’s artistic and technical programmes.
