International Animation Day

The technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the film is shown as a sequence is called Animation pictures

In 2002, ASIFA, the International Animated Film Association, launched a global event to celebrate the art of animation. October 28th was proclaimed as International Animation Day (IAD), commemorating the first public performance of Emile Reynaud’s Theatre Optique at the Grevin Museum in Paris in 1892.

In recent years, the event has been observed in more than 50 different countries with more than 1000 events, on every continent, all over the world. IAD was initiated by ASIFA,International Animated Flim Association ;a member of UNESCO.During International Animation Day cultural institutions are also invited to join in by screening animated films, organising workshops, exhibiting artwork and stills, providing technical demonstrations, and organizing other events helping to promote the art of animation. Such a celebration is an outstanding opportunity of putting animated films in the limelight, making this art more accessible to the public.

Each year, ASIFA groups around the world celebrate International Animation Day. In 2005, 37 different countries in all the continents celebrated this day. The various ASIFA groups celebrate IAD by screening animated films, organizing workshops, exhibiting artwork and stills, providing technical demonstrations, and helping to promote the art of animation.

In India, IAD has been celebrated every year since 2002 in various cities around the country. What started out as a small Animation Film celebration has now blossomed into a must-attend event for all Indian artists and has the support and sponsorship of multiple organizations throughout India.
