Now in our 6th year, The Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival is the only exclusively independent animation festival in Canada, with a focus on experimental and self-produced animated film. GIRAF plays an essential role in the promotion, education and appreciation of independent animation from around the world, exposing hungry local audiences to the best animated content from at home and abroad.  

There is no entry fee, and we pay artist fees for all screened animations.

Submissions now open - Deadline August 2nd, 2010
