GIRAF is a celebration of independent animation, a showcase of the best of what's being created here in Canada and around the world. Each year, we scour the globe for the most astounding, inventive, beautiful, mind-altering and unexpected animated films out there. For our 2022 festival, we brought 60+ shorts and features to animation fans across Alberta on our online platform and in cinema from Nov 17 -20.
