ASIFA Goals and Missions
The world’s first and foremost professional organization dedicated to promoting the Art of Animation and celebrating the people who create it.
ASIFA-Hollywood is the heart of the animation world, uniting the global animation community to celebrate excellence, preserve animation history, as well as fostering education and innovation forward.
ASIFA-Hollywood is the Southern California chapter of the Association Internationale du Film D’Animation (ASIFA) which was founded in 1957 and chartered by UNESCO in 1960.
