No marginalization in our sphere, SABIFF 2022 is hybrid this year with lots of impactful offerings. We start, and end our celebration with Disney legends in their own rite who have added their nuances to this household brand. In the middle, our days are filled with our FILMS IN COMPETITION from filmmakers around the world, and a wealth of animation studios, producers, illustrators, gamers, professors, and talented Creatives from the US, Kenya, Cameroon, Ghana, Morocco, who share their cultural perspectives, stories, journeys, and the need for diversity, equity and equality in the animation industry. Defined as the state of being full of life or vigor, ANIMATION with an added touch of blackness is quintessence, enriching, and full of nourishment for the soul. Join us in our beautiful San Antonio, or on our sabiff.tv platform; however your partake, ... no worries, we got ya!
