The entrance standard is really high, and there are many applicants for a small number of places each year. The interview alone takes a whole day.

The quick-fire Annecy shorts are made by 2nd year students, while the longer form shorts like Oktapodi or Blind Spot are made in the 3rd year, and then tour the various animation festivals. It really is quite amazing that the students can work to this incredible standard by the second year of the course.
