CAFF, the Cultural Animation Film Festival is designed to showcase unique animated films based on the cultures of who we are. Our hopes is that these films will shed a better light on who we are as a people. We also hope that CAFF will inspire animators both new and seasoned from around the world to create films and share their stories.

    An absolutely fabulous Festival. Great communication. You could tell the enthusiasm and love of children's creativity. The festival would be very high on my "must go to pick up ideas" list, but much too far away from Oxford. Thank you for all the very hard work you must put in
