VIEW Conference Offers A Packed Line-Up This October

The pandemic led to the cancellation of countless animation events. But it also saw virtual festivals pop up in their place. Fans got used to being able to access festivals such as Annecy and Manchester Animation Festival from the comfort of their homes, which made the return of in-person events bittersweet. However, some festivals are retaining an online element alongside the in-person festival.
