Lila Teicher has passed away 

The world of animation and the Festival team are greatly saddened by the news that Lila Teicher passed away last Friday. Lila was a generous person and a seasoned film fan who was part of the first volunteer team back in 1983 at the Jica (Journées internationales du cinéma d'animation), which has since become the Festival as we know it. Many festival-goers will remember her warm welcome and unfailing attention.
