Aynimation Festival de Animación

Festival overview

About Aynimation Festival de Animación

Physical film festival with submission categories including International Animated Short Film Competition and Latin American Animated Short Film Competition.

Festival is an animation festival whose mission is to promote the development of animation by decentralizing access to education and culture in its various forms, while fostering connections between artists, the industry, and the community. Through this competition, we seek to showcase innovative works, encourage the exchange of ideas, and recognize the creative talent and diversity of perspectives that this art form offers.

The festival organization reaffirms its commitment to cultural decentralization and the national and international promotion of animation, offering participants the opportunity to share their projects with new audiences and be part of an event that connects the industry and the community in the city of Trujillo.

The Aynimation Festival opens its call for submissions for the Official Competition Selection, inviting animation filmmakers and creators from Peru, Latin America, and around the world to take part in this fourth edition in 2026.
