Known as the “Writers Festival” since its inception 23 years ago, Austin Film Festival recognizes the importance of narrative at the core of filmmaking. By celebrating the work of storytellers; those committed to crafting intricate worlds, fully-formed characters, and diverse perspectives, AFF bolsters its reputation as a champion for the creator.
Make sure to submit your film to AFF’s Oscar®-qualifying Animated Short category! Many animated shorts that play AFF have gone on to be nominated for an Academy Award®, including The Dam Keeper in 2015, Head Over Heels in 2013 and The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore in 2012.
