The SIGGRAPH 2018 Computer Animation Festival is a collection of animation shorts premiered at the SIGGRAPH International Conference last August.
The Festival started as an annual showcase of advances in computer graphics, and since then has come to celebrate the rise of computer graphics as a medium for storytelling, not just in animation, but also in visual effects for movies and games.
The event is recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a qualifying festival. An internationally recognized jury receives hundreds of submissions and presents the best work of the year, with awards for Best in Show, Jury’s Choice and Best Student Project. Several works that were originally presented in the Computer Animation Festival have been nominated for or have received a Best Animated Short Academy Award.
This event is sponsored by The Berkeley City College: Multimedia Arts Animation and Game Design and SF SIGGRAPH Chapter.
Schedule:
