Best Austrian Animation Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The Best Austrian Animation Festival (BAAF) is a Vienna-based project of ASIFA Austria that serves as an annual showcase of Austrian animation. It is notable for presenting a broad range of work — from student films and established artists to commissioned pieces and music videos — and for framing animation in its full range, from experimentation and abstraction to narrative forms and multiple analog, digital, and hybrid techniques.
