ASIFA INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION DAY 2017
Photos: ASIFA Poland, ASIFA China, and ASIFA Croatia
ASIFA created the International Animation Day (IAD) in 2002 to honor the birth of animation. October 28th
was chosen in recognition of the first public performance of projected moving images: Emile Reynaud’s Theatre
Optique in Paris, in 1892.
ASIFA coordinates and helps promote IAD celebrations all over the world, putting the art of animation in the
limelight in a global worldwide celebration of animation. IAD offers us the opportunity to connect with animators and
share animation across borders, across cultures, across languages - to celebrate our humanity through the art of
animation.
ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 3
INTRODUCTION: Interim Coordinator R. Brad Yarhouse
I am honored and excited that I have been asked by the
Deanna Morse and the board to act as interim International
Animation Day coordinator for the international ASIFA organization.
I want to give my thanks to Vanessa Ventura of ASIFA Portugal for
many years of service as the previous coordinator of IAD. I would
also like to thank Noureddin Zarrinkelk and Negar Zarrinkelk for their
wonderful poster for 2017.
I have been coordinating IAD for the Central USA chapter
since 2012 and was recently made President of ASIFA Central.
My goal as coordinator for the central chapter has always been two
fold, first to provide an opportunity for members of ASIFA Central to
participate in celebrating the animation artform by showing their
current animation. A ‘snapshot’ of the artists, vision, and the talent
that makes up our region of the world. My vision is of a world of
animators each of us with our talents, desires, various skill levels
from amateur to professional coming together on one day to
celebrate our love of the crafted moving medium of animation. IAD
is a chance to celebrate and inspire one another. Which, gets to my
second goal, to participate for a moment in the global village that is
our planet.
Few organizations of artist span the globe through so many economic, social, cultural, and political
realms as does ASIFA. In our celebration of International Animation Day, for a moment we are truly a community
without borders and without fear. It is a day when large and small groups of artists share and inspire one another. It is
a day that makes me proud to belong to a group that crosses so many obstacles to celebrate our shared art and
humanity.
I believe that the greatest need in this world is to stop fearing our differences, and to celebrate and share in
the richness of our variety. International animation day is a seed planted each year in defiance of fear.
I thank you for the opportunity to be considered for this position, I am like many of you very busy, but
International Animation Day is very important to me. I don't consider this position lightly. I recognize the amount of
work and grace involved when working with so many people from so many different backgrounds. But, I believe in
this community and its ability to make the world a better place. After all, this is the reason I make art.
Sincerely,
To participate in IAD 2018, please contact Brad at brad@yarhouse.com
If you wish to be included in the 2018 report, please send information about your 2018 IAD celebrations to
brad@yarhouse.com before December 1, 2018.
