Maine College of Art & Design’s Second Annual Animation & Film Festival

Join the Maine College of Art & Design's Animation & Game Art Department and Student Life for the Second Annual Animation & Film Festival!

Due to last year’s sold-out show, this year’s festival will be held at Mechanic’s Hall Ballroom across the street from MECA&D to accommodate a larger crowd!

Featuring original submissions from Maine College of Art & Design students across the College, including 2D and 3D animation, experimental live-action, animatics, stop-motion animation, video game playthroughs, and more, guests will view the submissions, participate in live-voting and applaud the award winners!

Films were selected by a curatorial team comprised of Isaac Kestenbaum, Director of the Salt Institute of Documentary Studies; Carly Peruccio, Assistant Director of Joanne Waxman Library; Starr Miller, Assistant Director of Student Life - Student Engagement and Belonging; and Amelia Garretson-Persans, Animation and Game Art Faculty and Film Festival Coordinator.

Films will be judged by a jury of MECA&D alums in a variety of categories. Audience members will also have an opportunity to vote for their favorite film with the People’s Choice Award!
