Ciclic Animation is the animation residency center of Ciclic
In September 2000, Ciclic created animation residencies in the Centre-Val de Loire Region for French and international directors in order to support films throughout all stages. Located in Château-Renault, the residency is mainly designed for stop-motion animated film directors (puppets, play-dough, objects or pixilation). The residency is gradually including all traditional animation techniques.
In July 2015, Ciclic Animation moved into the North Stable of the Quartier Rochambeau in Vendôme (Loir-et-Cher department). Ciclic created previously unseen cultural facilities dedicated to animated films which combine animation residencies for professionals and cultural programming for the inhabitants of Vendôme.
