Festival Description:

SICAF has been established itself as the festival focusing not only on the animation as a kind of visual contents but also on the animation as a part of the digital contents industry. Since SICAF has been approved by ASIFA (Association Internationale du Film d'Animation) in 2005, the Animated Film Festival is trying to extend a wide range of independence and technology-based animated works that experience the boundless animations.

Categories of accepted films include:

*Feature Films : Films produced for the purpose of theatrical release
*Short Films : Within 30 minutes in length (both Professional Films and School or Graduation Films)
*TV (Series and TV specials)
*Commissioned Films (Advertising or promotional films, Educational, scientific, or industrial films and Video clip for music, game, etc.)

SICAF also pays attention to the trend of convergence accepting the artistic qualities and new technologies of experimental challenges through new platforms with a category and special events focusing on Internet Animation & Machinima.
