                 ANIMAHENASYON




           In an effort to build an audience, awareness and development of original contents, ACPI
           organizes an annual animation festival called Animahenasyon that showcases original
           Filipino  animated  works  of  both  aspiring  and  professional  animators  in  the  country
           through a competition.

           Also part of the festival is the animation conference, art workshops, exhibition screening
           featuring animation works from other countries, exhibits and other side activities.
           Animahenasyon is the Filipino equivalent of animagination, as a result of combining the
           words “animation” and “imagination” (imahenasyon). It is also about the image (imahe)
           that we want to portray as a nation (nasyon) of animators to the world.
           But Animahenasyon is more than just a showcase of what the Filipino animators can
           do. It is really a harvest (ani) of the Filipino talent and creativity. It is a celebration of the
           Philippine animation industry.

           Animahenasyon  aims  to  serve  as  the  venue  to  showcase,  both  domestically  and
           internationally,  Flipino  talent  in  the  area  of  animation.  Likewise,  it  aims  to  promote
           collaboration  among  all  industry  stakeholders,  networking  among  international  guest
           animators, among others.

           Animahenasyon  serves  as  a  venue  for  animation  professionals  and  enthusiasts  to
           present their world-class ideas and showcase their talents both locally and internationally.
           The festival opens doors of opportunities and provides a chance for the artists to meet
           and be inspired by the finest names in the industry. Likewise, Animahenasyon promotes
           collaboration among all industry stakeholders and networking among international guest
           animators, among others.
           Animahenasyon aims to:

               1.   Give further progress to the growth of Philippine animation industry and its
                  contributions to the global animation industry.
               2.   Have access to locally produced animation content for promotion in animation
                  markets here and abroad to showcase the talent of the Filipinos.
               3.   Encourage potential talents to explore the many career opportunities available
                  in the industry and hone their skills through competition.
               4.   Provide a venue for exchange among animators, producers, industry sup-
                  porters, investors, stakeholders and other possible business networking, and
                  matching opportunities.
