ANIMATION & FILM FESTIVAL

The Animation and film festival is a traditional yearly event that the Digital Arts Department, in cooperation with the Communication Arts Department, has organized since 2014. This event celebrates and encourages students’ best work and has served to promote our department. It has been a valuable tool for recruiting students and increasing our visibility. Further, it inspires our students and faculty to reach new heights every year.

Creating animations is a long process. Some of these works are done within a semester, and others have taken far longer. It has been amazing to see the wide array of styles and techniques that underlie the value we place on encouraging individualism and personal expression in art, in addition to learning the software.

Before the pandemic, the festival was organized every May at our Broadway location. During the pandemic, we managed to organize rather successful online festivals. In the past couple of years both premiered online, which online presentation has been established far better than in previous years. Below are two links to the festivals.
