Asia Animation Forum 2015: Call for Papers

asia-animation-forum-logoThe Asia Animation Forum(AAF) intends to rediscover the value of Asian animation and establish a global network to promote further cooperation in the fields of education, creation, industry, and policy.

The third AAF seeks to explore the meaning of animation as a space of infinite possibility in the age of digital technology that blurs the boundaries between art, media, and genre.

Its theme topic: 'The Boundless Space : Transcending the Threshold', October 25-27, 2015 (KOMACON, Korea Manhwa Contents Agency)

Animation integrates with other art forms—such as fine art, live action, and performance—while it keeps changing in its form in fields as diverse as education, game, sports, tourism, and medical care. Animation that is widely distributed via various platforms builds fandom and creates cultural phenomena that transcend borders, regions, and real and virtual worlds.

AAF hopes that the forum stimulates a wide range of questions and productive discussions focused on the transcending movement of animation and allows attendees to explore the potential of animation.
