ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
In our first year, we screened 78 films from 9 countries, including
two from Oscar nominees. We aim to make our second year even grander.
We showcase the breadth of the animation world. All methods are
represented: hand-drawn, computer-generated, stop-motion, pixilation,
and experimental hybrids. All styles are welcome: hilarious, heart-
warming, dark, cerebral, or abstract. We make a point of showing films
both from masters and remarkable amateurs.
This is a festival created by animators, for animators, and all lovers
of animation. We bring together and inspire a community of artists,
and expand audiences’ understanding of what can be done with the art
form.
