The cultural association “GAMCA Animation” was officially registered on September 15, 2025.
GAMCA is a contraction of “Geneviève et André Martin des Communications Animées.” The word animation was added to make it easier to find through online search engines.
The association’s mission is to promote animation films and it now manages the website
GENEVIÈVE ET ANDRÉ MARTIN : DES COMMUNICATIONS ANIMÉES , which has existed since 2019.
The first two projects as a legal entity are being carried out in collaboration with the Institut Sainte-Geneviève and the second-year DNMADE Animation Cinema students, with two themes that GAMCA Animation will have the opportunity to return to later.
For GAMCA Animation, this represents an opportunity to:
Take part in two educational projects and share with younger generations key historical insights that helped shape animated cinema in France and internationally over fifty years of its history;
Prepare a few surprises to celebrate the centenary of André Martin’s birth, who was born on December 31, 1925 — an anniversary that GAMCA Animation will celebrate throughout the year 2026.
