ASIFAC Animation Festival and Conference (Asifa South)

Event Description:
What started out as a showcase, the ASIFA-South Festival & Conference has become a two-day bi-annual competitive event open to students, independent animators, and professionals. We celebrate the magic of animation and its power to bring forth humor, imagination and unique art forms. Selected entries offer diverse animation perspectives in the form of 2-D, Stop Motion, 3-D and hybrid-mixes to deliver inspiring and thought-provoking films.
