The India
International Animation and Cartoon Film Festival (IIACFF) is going to be
held in the month of October (1st-5th) in New Delhi. This festival is one of
its kinds as we rarely have events which provide a platform for the
cartoonists and animators to showcase their talent. Renowned actor Mr. Javed
Jaffery is the brand ambassador for IIACFF.
The event was successfully launched in the month of April at The Lalit, New
Delhi.
There are more than 350 animation institutes scattered all over India, but
there are rarely any Animation Film Festival in our calendars, to bridge this
gap this festival is being organized. IIACFF aims to change the scenario of
the animation industry and the students associated with cartoon and animation
in India. The festival will bring together the filmmakers and other
television artists who specialize in animation and visual effects in
movies.
It will create a platform for the
students to showcase their work in front of the audiences and eminent jury
members comprising of both international and national figures associated with
cartoon and animation. The festival will emphasize on youth and will try to
cater to school student’s interest in the field of animation. The festival
will also recognize the efforts of different participants in various
categories.
The five day festival will also be marked by panel discussion by eminent
animators, movie directors and a quiz event. India International Animation
and Cartoon Film Festival will also encourage the parents to attend and gain
knowledge about animation and its industry.
The event will boost the animation industry of India and will also create a
platform for the Indian students where they can compete with students from
abroad through animation films. The best films selected by the eminent jury
will be recognized and awarded.
IIACFF is an event to look out for as India has not witnessed such an event
where encouragement and a proper platform are being provided to the budding
cartoonists and animators. It will definitely create a new outlook of the
people towards this industry and will act as a booster for many youngsters to
become a part of the cartoon and animation industry and explore this art to
the core.
