Be there! Corfu Animation Festival is the new international animation festival. It has Corfu, the capital of Ionian Islands, an its point of reference, and a meeting point for animation artists from all over the world, through competing actions in April 2011.

The objective of Be There! Corfu Animation Festival is to treat animation works with professionalism, and total respect for the creative effort that accompanies the 8^th art. Its various festival activities relate equally to children, adults, visitors, institutions, and all those with an eye to learning and experiencing through art.

The festival’s programming agenda includes feature-length films, short films, but also director retrospectives and novel tributes, Greek national premieres, and multiply acclaimed films (including Oscar-awarded ones). Crucially important will be the role of the speakers, panels, and workshops.

The festival will include two competitive programs (short films and graduation shorts) -no entrant fee required. Films in both competition programs will be allowed to range from certain seconds up to 35 minutes. There are no restrictions in animation technique or genre, and the two best films from each competition program will receive an award (submission deadline: January 10, 2011).
