About the SIGGRAPH 2020 Computer Animation Festival

The SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival, a qualifying festival by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, brings the computer graphics community together to celebrate and showcase the best storytelling in short and feature films, visual effects, games, advertisements, scientific visualizations and more.

Since 1999, several works presented in the Computer Animation Festival have been nominated for or have received the Best Animated Short Academy Award. And, in 2020, the Electronic Theater will be presented virtually for the first time ever. Featuring three world premieres, preview a portion of the 28 selected pieces for SIGGRAPH 2020 in the video trailer below. (Curious who participated in this year’s jury? Click here.)
