ASIFA is French for the Association Internationale du Film d’Animation. We are the New York chapter, promoting all things animation, and our annual festival. Debuting in 1969, the ASIFA-East Animated Film Festival is one of the longest running festivals of its kind. Each year, entries are submitted and judged during special jury screenings. Only current ASIFA-East members are permitted to vote for the winning films.
