The Celtic Animation Film Festival and Competition provide a platform for established animators of Celtic heritage and emerging Celtic animators from around the world.
CAFF celebrates storytelling relating to Celtic identity, myths, cultural history and personal stories from Celtic animators hailing from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Brittany and Cornwall and those who have migrated internationally. CAFF also welcomes international animation submissions celebrating cultural diversity and identity from outside the Celtic regions.
The theme for the 2019 festival is women in animation, and content focusing on women's issues. CAFF is an inclusive festival so male animators/directors/production staff are welcome to apply.
Please email us with any questions you may have or suggestions around the theme: cafcompetition@gmail.com.
