The Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF) screens animation shorts and feature length films while hosting workshops and retrospectives from famous animators worldwide. Delightfully quirky, the OIAF is a festival where students and filmmakers alike can meet their heroes, make new friends, hone their craft, and express their love for animation. The events are hosted at various locations in Ottawa such as the Alma Duncan Salon, the Bytowne Cinema, Arts Court Theatre, and the NAC.
