ABOUT NWAF
The Northwest Animation Festival collects excellent short animated films from around the world for screening at an annual multi-day gathering in Portland, Oregon. Our goal: to create a large local community of impassioned enthusiasts and inspired artists, and an internationally recognised hub of animation culture.
In 2007 Portland hosted the single largest animation festival in US history: the Platform International Animation Festival. Screening over 400 films, the event generated much excitement around the country – then frustration when no sequel appeared. Wanting to make good on Platform’s promise, in 2010 animator/activist Sven Bonnichsen founded the Northwest Animation Festival.
Organising NWAF and its spin-off events is now a year-round effort that involves an ever-expanding team of collaborators. Film selection is accomplished by a handpicked, international team of festival alumni, animators and supporting artists. Host venues for the multi-day festival include the Hollywood Theatre in Portland and the Bijou Art Cinemas in Eugene. Special Portland events are produced in cooperation with arts organisations such as ASIFA-Portland, Creative Music Guild, Experimental Film Festival Portland, LAIKA, Oregon Cartoon Institute, Risk/Reward, Pacific Northwest College of Art’s Boundary Crossings program, Seattle Experimental Animation Team and White Box Gallery.
