7:30 PM - 11th Annual International Animation Day selections
In 2002, ASIFA launched International Animation Day, a global celebration to honor the day Emile Reynaud presented the first animation to the public on October 28th.
Each October since, ASIFA chapters all over the world collect their best locally produced animated short films and exchange with other chapters. Our feature presentation includes the best of the exchange from Australia, Brazil, China, Korea, Poland and Portugal.
