ASIFA-Hollywood Student Animation Festival

The **ASIFA-Hollywood Student Animation Festival** is an annual showcase of student-produced animated shorts organized by ASIFA-Hollywood, the Los Angeles chapter of the International Animated Film Society. The festival highlights emerging talent from schools and colleges, giving young animators a chance to screen their work in a professional context and receive feedback from industry-connected organizers and audiences. While ASIFA-Hollywood primarily serves the greater Los Angeles area, the festival has historically welcomed submissions from a range of student filmmakers, including advanced high school and college-level animators, depending on the specific year’s call for entries. Participants gain experience with a real festival submission process, build their portfolios, and can network with peers and professionals who attend ASIFA-Hollywood events. Details like exact eligibility and format may vary year to year, so interested students and educators should check the ASIFA-Hollywood site or contact the organization directly.
