The Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival is the only exclusively independent animation festival in Canada, with a focus on experimental and self-produced animated film. GIRAF plays an essential role in the promotion, education and appreciation of independent animation from around the world, exposing hungry local audiences to the best animated content from at home and abroad.

Dearest Animation Fans: We need your help! In order to make GIRAF4 a smashing success we will need the kind support of a volunteer super-brigade.
