International Animation Day

International Animation Day (IAD) - October 28th

On October 28th, 1892, a French inventor Emile Reynaud (1844 - 1918) made the first public performance of animation at the Grevin Museum in Paris, using his own invention "optical theater".

In 2002, ASIFA (Association Internationale du Film d' Animation, registered in Annecy, France) decided to celebrate this historic day as “International Animation Day (IAD)”, aiming to promote and develop animation art all over the world. ASIFA National Groups started to hold the celebration on and around October 28th, as a “simultaneous” manifestation in various countries.

ASIFA-JAPAN also decided to join this international art manifestation in 2005 and has been participating since then. This year, “IAD 2023 in NISHI MAIZURU” (October 28th) will be held at Seis x Cine Grulla, “IAD 2023 in KYOTO” (November 3rd) at Kyoto University of the Arts, and “IAD 2023 in ATSUGI” at Kanagawa Institute of Technology. For more details, please visit the official site of IAD 2023.

This year’s official IAD poster was created by Georges Schwizgebel (ASIFA Swiss member), and it will be used around the world.
