International Animated Film Association

The International Animated Film Association (French: Association Internationale du Film d'Animation, ASIFA) is an international non-profit organization founded in 1960 in Annecy, France by well-known animation artists including Canadian animator Norman McLaren. There are now more than 30 chapters of the Association located in many countries of the world.

ASIFA's board of directors includes animation professionals from all over the world. They meet at ASIFA-sponsored animation film festivals on a regular basis. Some of the most well-known festivals include the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France, the Ottawa International Animated Film Festival in Canada, the Animae Caribe in the Caribbean,^[1] the Hiroshima International Animation Festival in Japan, and the Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films in Croatia.
