Entries

The Ottawa 2013 International Animation Festival is all set for September 18-22nd. We’re already in full preparation mode. Here’s some information to get you ready for what will surely be another mind warping OIAF:

talks

Oscar-winning Australian animator, Adam Elliot, the claymation mastermind behind the much loved films, Harvey Krumpet and OIAF feature Grand Prix winner Mary and Max is confirmed for Ottawa 13. Alongside a retrospective of his films, Adam will head up a special masterclass. Other confirmed screenings include tributes to Chicaco animator, Chris Sullivan along with a look at Indigenous and Spanish animation and a special presentation of the greatest student films ever made… Stay tuned for more details.

tac

Our brand new poster is ready and it’s dreamy. It’s a new style called Brookstonian. See, Brooklyn animator, Aaron Augenblick and Estonian dream maker, Mati Kutt became pals during their OIAF 11 jury time. Now they’ve teamed up on the OIAF 13 Poster and Signal Film. Here’s a sneak peak of the soothing new poster:

Entries

We’re not quite ready for your cinematic mind dreams just yet, but it’s a good time to start preparing your submissions to the OIAF 13 competition. Anyone can enter. Better yet, there’s NO ENTRY FEE! Can you believe that? Doesn’t matter whether you’re a student, indie, or non-indie. Whether you’re making narrative shorts, music videos, commercials, video games, features, or non-figurative abstract mood infestations, we’ve got categories for everyone!

Hell, you can even enter non-animation films. Lots of people do and we love it! *

*non-animation films will not be accepted nor do we ‘love them’

When we're ready for you, the entry forms will be due online by May 17th, and preview DVDs by May 31st.

Stay tuned here and to our website for the official call!

3. Category of programming: OIAF or TAC
4. Format: Panel, one-on-one discussion, masterclass, etc.

Tips for a good pitch:
