Debuting in 1969, the ASIFA-East Animation Festival is one of the longest running festivals of its kind.  The festival is a unique showcase for the most groundbreaking independent and commercial animation being produced in the industry today.  Every year, entries are submitted and judged during jury screenings by the members of our organization. The votes are tallied and announced at an awards ceremony in the Spring.  The exciting evening continues with a lively reception, where award winners, members of the industry, and lovers of animation can meet one another, enjoy a few refreshments, and network.
