Apart from the fact that Animae Caribe International Animation & Digital Media Festival will be celebrating 20 Years as the premiere Animation festival in the Caribbean, Animae Caribe is a movement, a gathering, a way of working collaboratively between creative entities to use animation, game design, technology to empower entertain and educate a section of society that do not have access or means to the fruits of digital media and technological tools. Based in the southernmost island in the Caribbean, off the border of South America it is a festival destination, that bursts at the seams with diverse and unique content. From October 28 to 31, the festival will turn the islands into the premiere destination for the festival experience. The four-day event bringing together experts, students, creatives, and talent to create a premier event that will innovate and inspire everyone who attends. After a successful 2020 online edition, AC21 returns with blended options for 2021, all of its programs and conferences will be available on various platforms, from VR Experiences like Alt Space and High Fidelity to traditional Zoom platforms. It will continue to be a space for networking, screening and industry exposure, but also an amazing opportunity to experience the Caribbean #islandlifebliss through inter-island online events culminating into 3 Days of conferences, screenings, receptions and VR closing ceremony on the Island of Tobago.
