The SoDak Motion Festival (much like its predecessor the SoDak Animation Festival), seeks to show some of the best new independent animation from around the world.
The SoDak Motion Festival is a true gem of the American midwest, because nowhere else in the heartland of America can you find the world's best independent animation. The festival has also hosted guest speakers including artists and filmmakers from NBC, Troika Design, Pixar, and an awesome slew of today’s top indie animators. It’s really cool to say that you've had work show in South Dakota, and for a film festival – and for an animated film festival! It's a small and sincere event, made for animators and by animators and lovers of animation.
The 2018 event will be held October 25-27 in Brookings, South Dakota at the South Dakota Art Museum on the campus of South Dakota State University with other venues in development.
Call for Entries runs from June 3-July 31. Student entries are free until June 11.
CALL FOR ENTRIES EXTENDED UNTIL AUGUST 7!
The SoDak Motion Festival and related events are organized and operated by faculty, staff, and students from The School of Design at South Dakota State University and by loyal animation-loving members of the Brookings and Sioux Falls, South Dakota communities.
The coveted Golden Cowbells are awarded for Juried categories. Juror information will be available on the festival website.
