African Animation Day 2025

AfroAnimation, in collaboration with the Africa Pavilion—the premier screening, networking, and business development platform for the African film industry at the Marché du Film during the Cannes Film Festival—is bringing African animation to the global cinema stage on May 19, 2025, at The African House, during the 78th Cannes International Film Festival in Cannes, France.

Join us for a dynamic day of panel discussions, indie screenings, and co-production opportunities that continue to propel African animation toward a global audience. Discover key insights and trends shaping the African animation market, learn who’s making waves, and engage in conversations with artists and executives driving the future of African storytelling.

Plus, enjoy invaluable opportunities to collaborate with animators, creatives, producers, and international dealmakers across film, television, and streaming—right in the heart of the French Riviera.

We’re celebrating the power, narratives, and cultural richness of African animation on a truly international stage.

RSVP today if you plan to be in Cannes, France, on May 19, 2025.
