**Thanks for your interest in the 20th annual Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival!**

  
GIRAF is a celebration of independent animation, a showcase of the best of what's being created here in Canada and around the world. Each year, we scour the globe for the most astounding, inventive, beautiful, mind-altering and unexpected animated films out there. For our 2023 festival, we brought 60+ shorts and features to animation fans across Alberta on our online platform and in cinema from Nov 17 -20.

In 2022 we were happy continue the festival in cinema with in-person screenings, however we learned over the pandemic that GIRAF serves an online audience as well. Screening a festival through secure online platforms does make these films accessible to communities of people that might not be able to make it to the cinema. So in 2022-23, GIRAF was offered in a hybrid (online and in-person) festival format for the first time in it's 18 year history. We are hoping to keep this mix of in-person and online format for GIRAF 20!
