International MIFA Campus in association with AniMela

IDC, IIT Mumbai, Maharashtra   ||   7th – 9th March, 2025

Aniverse & Visual Arts Foundation, in collaboration with MIFA-Annecy Festival, is bringing the 2nd edition of the International MIFA Campus (IMC) to India once again. Continuing in our bid to promote Indian animation talent and Indian stories to a global audience, we are inviting artists and animators across the country to share their work-in-progress projects with us. A Selection Panel of Indian industry experts will shortlist the most promising projects along with the Annecy MIFA team. Eventually, 5 most promising projects from India will get to participate at the IMC.

These projects will participate in a 4-day long extensive workshop in IDC, IIT Mumbai Campus, Maharashtra in March 2025. The workshop will be mentored by three mentors from Annecy International Animation Festival. The workshop participants will get mentoring in developing the creative side of their projects as well as support to prepare the right pitch to promote their project to a professional international audience.

On the final day of the workshop, the participants will get an opportunity to pitch their project to a curated audience of industry professionals (studios, producers, agents, funders).
