GIRAF Animation Festival

online

Years running: 20 (since 2005)

GIRAF Animation Festival

International Animation Film Festival.

About

GIRAF is committed to gaining greater awareness for animation as an art form, and celebrates the spirit of independent, underground, and experimental animation.

We are looking for Animation submissions, in all genres, lengths, and mediums. Our programs are a strong eclectic mix of animation, representing the best of the medium from Claymation to CG. We focus on presenting independent animations that push boundaries through new techniques, unique visions, and stimulating subject matter.

Awards

Best of Canada, Most Innovative Animation, Best International Short Animation Awards (Juried), & Audience Favorite Short Animation Award.

Rules

  • Animations must be independently produced (not by major studios), with the director retaining complete editorial control;
  • No commercial work, please — some of those are super cool, but commercials, explainers, festival stingers and those sorts of things fall outside what our festival is all about.
  • The festival is also aimed at an adult audience, so we rarely select films that are explicitly aimed at children.
  • ONLINE submissions (ie YouTube and Vimeo links) are strongly preferred, but DVDs may be sent to:
