本次征集依然本着开放和多样性的原则,对题材、类型和形式不做任何的限制,欢迎一切有趣味、有想象力、有创造力,具有独立思考的动画作品。
秉承独立思考,趣味表达的宗旨,我们始终如一地期待造就一个真正属于动画人的节日。

The 5th TOPU International Animation Week and the 12th China Independent Animation Film Forum competition unit is officially starting the collection of works! The event will be held in Linjiang New District, Haimen City, Jiangsu Province China in early November 2023. We will invite experts and scholars, industry elites, well-known directors and young creators in the animation industry to gather together to witness this festival that belongs to the animators themselves!

The China Independent Animation Film Forum (CIAFF) is the first non-profit animation film art project curated by non-governmental institution in mainland China. It was first initiated by the independent animation director Pi San in 2011. It aims to encourage the spirit of artistic creation, gather and support high-quality Chinese original forces, and promote the creation and development level of Chinese animation. Since 2015, CIAFF has been under the Curator System, and the curator is in charge of the theme planning and activity arrangement of each forum. Since 2019, CIAFF has landed in Linjiang New District, and been held together with TOPU International Animation Week (TOPUIAW).

The competition unit is an important part of the event. Over the past twelve years, adhering to the spirit of encouraging and supporting original animation, a large number of excellent original independent animation works have been discovered and displayed. As of December 2022, the competition has received totaling over 5,400 works from more than 50 colleges and universities at home and abroad, with a total of 468 finalists and 78 winners. The CIAFF would make reports about the finalists to promote the authors and their works. And opportunities are offered to be recommended to participate in well-known animation film festivals at home and abroad, recommended to participate in exhibitions and to cooperate with important institutions and enterprises.

The call is still based on the principle of openness and diversity, with no restrictions on subject matter, genre or form. All interesting, imaginative, creative and independent thinking animation works are welcome.
Adhering to the purpose of independent thinking and interesting expression, we always look forward to creating a festival that truly belongs to animators.
