The California International Animation Festival is a unique festival, blending the worlds of Animation and Gaming. In an era when games are becoming movies, and movies becoming games, thie blend is inevitbale.

The combination of screenings and other targeted events allows for focused networking in the animation and gaming areas of the entertainment industry.

The California International Animation Festival (CalAniFest) provides many excellent high profile opportunities for sponsorship through media promotions, festival publications (catalogue, posters, flyers, etc.), website, sponsors' board at the venue and at the screening themselves. By participating as a sponsor, an organization gains wide exposure to a wide audience that is educated and culturally aware.

CalAniFest also provides a unique opportunity for innovative companies to demonstrate their products, introduce new titles and describe their vision throughout the event.

We look for dynamic companies seeking to promote themselves as well as new or existing titles or products at the festival.
