The Orbital Sound Anima Cinefest International Animated Film Festival aims to be the ultimate global gathering of original animation storytellers and audiences seeking quality animated entertainment from talented filmmakers. Our annual programming will strive to include dramatic animated shorts, features, and episodic animated content that embraces all animation styles and genre.
Anima Cinefest is an open platform for top tier talent but also supports new and student film-makers, who are just beginning their careers. It is our aim and hope to give them access to film industry professionals who can offer guidance and other forms of career assistance. There is no fee to submit your film.
Your films will be screened on October 16th, 2024 at 6 pm in the Historic Hamilton Movie Theater which also has played host to the Banff Center Mountain Film Festival World Tour, the prestigious Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, the Slater Brothers Entertainment’s Hamilton International Film Festival, and new in 2014 the Miyazaki Fest. The theater has also hosted international and Hollywood directors like Mike Ross, who conducted a screening of his film, Captain Fantastic with a Q&A afterwards. Now it’s your turn. Submit your animated film now as spots are limited!
