NPAR 2000 is the first international symposium dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering, including cartoon animation systems and techniques.
Held in conjunction
with the International Animated Film Festival of Annecy, France, the
symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and
industry, showcase cutting-edge research in non-photorealistic animation and
rendering systems and techniques, and present examples of these techniques in
original computer-animated films. (All registrants will also receive a pass
to the International Animated Film Festival, which will be held during the same
week, June 5-10.)
The closing talk will be presented by John Lasseter from Pixar, who pioneered
3D animation as an expressive and entertaining art form.
We advise you to register to the conference and book your hotel as soon as possible.
The number of participants to the symposium is limited to 200 and hotel rooms
are quickly reserved for more than 5000 attendees to the Animated Film Festival!

International airports access to Annecy:
The conference will be held in Annecy, France, during the International Animated Film Festival. Annecy is located in the French Alps, 45 minutes from the Geneva International Airport and 4 hours from Paris by TGV.
Annecy is a beautiful town on the Lac d'Annecy, with sweeping views across the lake of the majestic French Alps. The Old Town is filled with a labyrinth of small windy streets, a myriad of bridges over canals that wind through the town, beautiful medieval buildings, and lots of "chocolatiers" and "patisseries"! Each year, Annecy organizes the International Animation Film Festival in which thousands of professional animators and deciders gather to share their impressions during the screenings of the best animated productions of the year, which take place all day long in several theatres throughout the town and a open air giant screen.
Participants to NPAR 2000 will receive free access to the festival.
