See the World Through the Eyes of Animation – ABIFF 2026 Submissions Are Open!

"Every time we open submissions for ABIFF, I feel the same excitement as at our very first edition. It’s a moment to renew our promise: to see the world through the eyes of animation and celebrate the stories that artists from around the globe bring us. The festival is not just about films; it’s about encounters, inspiration, and the courage to create. I hope every child, student, and viewer leaves with a spark of curiosity and a desire to see the world with more hope and love than before." - Mirona Radu, Artistic Director ABIFF
