About ASIFA Seattle
|
ASIFA Seattle is the Pacific Northwest’s foremost organization for the animation community, with a collective membership of professional animators, filmmakers, students, teachers and fans as well as affiliated professions such as voice-over actors, composers, puppeteers, illustrators and cartoonists. The Northwest has a rich history of experimental and independent animation, as well as commercial production in the areas of stop-motion, computer graphics visualization, interactive and video game animation.
The mission of ASIFA Seattle is to promote the art of animation and foster the development of the animation industry in the Pacific Northwest.
ASIFA Seattle was founded, in 1988, as ASIFA-NW, and split into Seattle and Portland chapters in 2006. It is one of nine U.S. chapters of the International Animated Film Association, ASIFA, which was established in 1960.
