Chat with Anne Voisin
French Animator & Educator
About Anne Voisin
In 2013, Anne Voisin co-founded the Atelier d’Animation de Lyon, not as a formal school, but as a rotating collective of working animators who taught frame-by-frame technique using hand-painted cels on glass, reviving a nearly extinct French tradition. Her 2017 short 'La Ligne Brisée' premiered at Annecy with no digital interpolation, every movement drawn on paper, scanned, and composited in analog-style layers, earning her the Prix du Jury Jeunesse for its tactile honesty. She insists students spend three weeks animating a single falling leaf before touching software, arguing that ‘gravity has memory, and memory must be felt in the wrist.’ Her pedagogy resists trend-driven tools; instead, she maps emotional arcs onto physical gesture studies, using 19th-century physiognomy texts alongside contemporary neuroscience papers. Based in Montreuil, she curates monthly screenings where students project their work on 16mm film projectors she restored herself, never digitally.
