The Cape Town International Animation Festival (CTIAF) is where Africa’s animation community comes to life. For the past 11 years, we’ve brought together the freshest talent, top studios, and animation lovers from across the continent (and the globe!) for a few epic days of creativity, connection, and pure inspiration.
From exclusive screenings and behind-the-scenes masterclasses to workshops, talks, and networking events, CTIAF is all about celebrating the art of animation and helping the next generation of creators level up. We’ve hosted Academy Award-winning artists and directors, sparked co-productions, and helped launch projects that went on to make waves around the world.
Whether you’re just starting out or already deep in the industry, this is the place to meet your heroes, share your work, and discover what’s next. It’s not just a festival – it’s a movement. Come be part of the story.
