Festival Description:
Since its inception in 2017, the Festival of African Animation Cinema of Cameroon (CANIMAF) has established itself as a major cultural event and a catalyst for African animation. Conceived at a time when African animation was tentatively emerging on the global stage, CANIMAF was born out of the desire to fill a gap in the continent's cinematic landscape by providing a platform dedicated to promoting and celebrating African animated talent.
