Now in its 13th year, BC's only Oscar®-accredited festival packs world-class films and talks into one grass-roots, volunteer-run festival which is, for the first time, available worldwide!
We know animation. Share our passion for the medium in all its forms as we present the best the animation world has to offer. Shorts and features, CG to stop-motion, the Festival celebrates both established artists and offers ample opportunity for discovery.
