SABIFF 2022 WELCOME'S YOU!
OCTOBER 6 - 9, 2022
ANIMATION IN BLACK magnifies soul power, and gives a thumbs up to affirming the beauty, resilience, and pride infused in to Blackness. This is a safe space to think-outside the box, and let imaginations run wild. SABIFF 2022 will open your eyes, thoughts, and hopefully inspire action for novice, or suppressed talent be rejuvenated. If you naturally gravitate towards the skillset of writing, drawing, IT, computers, graphic arts, or gaming, this festival is for you. Our participants from across-the-globe, have opened doors traditionally shut, to career pathways for aspiring Black and Brown Creatives to enter into this magical animation world, where fiction & fact merge with fantasy. Incorporating diverse cultures, images and voices into the world of animation brings beauty, brainy, bold, and bad-ass-ness to the Art of moving images.
SABIFF was compelled to present animation from the lens that often times has a minimal aperture reading to the outside world. 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 International FILMS IN COMPETITION by filmmakers around-the- world, and a wealth of animation studios, producers, illustrators, executives, professors, and talented Creatives from: the US, Jamaica, Kenya, Cameroon, Ghana, Morocco, who share their cultural perspectives, stories, journeys, and the need for equity, diversity, and inclusion 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 city of San Antonio, or on our sabiff.tv platform; however your partake, ... no worries, we got ya!
