Deadline: March 6th, 2017 –

TAIS is seeking submissions of animated film and video works by Toronto and GTA artists.

This program will present narrative or experimental animation films or projects, up to 10 minutes in length. Submissions can be recently completed works, or projects created years ago. The primary interest of this program is to prioritize the selection of works that haven’t yet had wide exposure to audiences.

If you have a nearly completed animated work, finish it off in time to submit! Have an old project that you’ve never shown? Dig into those vaults and submit that gem for consideration. The focus of this project is to celebrate independent animation produced by artists in Toronto and the surrounding communities in the GTA.

Screening Date: April 28, 2017
Screening Location: Royal Cinema
