The 2007 Taiwan International Animation Festival is calling for entries!
The 5th edition of the Taiwan International Animation Festival (TIAF) will be held in Taipei from September 28th to October 07th 2007.

The TIAF is an emerging global event and has successfully built its worldwide reputation, gaining momentum year by year, and more and more entrants have come from all over the world over the past four years, reaching a new high of close to 600 from over 30 countries in 2006.

The TIAF showcases the best animation both from Taiwan and the world. Drawing a varied audience, the festival screens recent Taiwanese animation works in its national competition section, while feature-length animation and shorts from around the world comprise the International Showcase. In addition, the TIAF presents a combination of panels and seminars, exhibitions and numerous special events such as free outdoor screenings, aiming to promote international exchanges, advocate creativity, enhance better understanding of animation and encourage dialogue between professionals, filmmakers and the audience.

The host of the TIAF, the Taipei-based Chinese Taipei Film Archive (CTFA), is a non-profit foundation and the sole film preservation organization in Taiwan and has been a member of Federation Internationale des Archives du Film (FIAF) since 1995. The CTFA first held the Taiwan International Animation Festival (TIAF) in 2002, the only large-scale festival dedicated to animation in Taiwan. To boost incentives for animators everywhere, the TIAF welcomes animation of all kinds of formats and techniques.

The deadline for 2007 TIAF entry is May 31st 2007. Please pass this message to those who are also interested in sending works to 2007 TIAF.
