 So What Does ASIFA Do?
If you love animation, you'll find lots to do as a member of
ASIFA-Hollywood. Here are just a few of our ongoing
projects and programs...
MEMBER EVENTS AND SCREENINGS
Throughout the year, we host a packed calendar of
events, including screenings of rare cartoons, membersonly
sneak peeks at current animated features and shows,
lectures and workshops by noted animation professionals
and social networking meetings. For up to date info on our
activities, bookmark our Calendar of Events for more info.
THE ANNIE AWARDS
First held in 1972, the Annie Awards have grown to become
animation's highest honor. The Annies are dedicated to honoring
the best animated films of the year, as well as recognizing
individual achievement. Qualified members of ASIFA-Hollywood
may vote for the winners.
See AnnieAwards.org for more info.
 THE ANIMATION ARCHIVE
The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive has been
collecting material related to the art of animation
for over thirty years. Recently, the Board of
Directors resolved to create a world-class archive,
library and museum dedicated to the artform. Work
is underway to build a digital archive- a database containing hundreds of thousands
of image files, biographical sketches, filmographic data and animated films - all
searchable by keyword. You can read about the day by day progress of this project
on the Archive Blog located at AnimationArchive.org.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL FOLKS...
ASIFA-Hollywood is at the forefront of the LA animation scene.
We preserve films in danger of being lost to nitrate
deterioration through our Animated Film Preservation Project.
We maintain a charitable fund, The Animation Aid Foundation,
and we foster education through the Stephen Bosustow and Art
Babbitt Educational Endowment Funds.
