The Story

Paraguay Animation's Short Film Festival is the first and only animation festival in Paraguay! This event is more than just a competition; it’s a celebration of creativity and cultural heritage. This year, we are transforming our successful online contest into a full-blown festival, promising an unforgettable experience that honors the dedication and talent of our participants. Join us in making history as we shine a spotlight on Paraguayan animation.

We are Paraguay Animation, a non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing and growing the animation industry in Paraguay. Since 2015, we have been offering workshops, classes, networking events, animation festivals, scholarships, and conferences to support and develop local talent.

The success of our past online animation contests, especially during the challenging times of the pandemic, has shown us the powerful impact of bringing animation to all corners of Paraguay. This year, we have the chance to elevate this experience into a full-scale, in-person festival. By supporting us now, you are helping us create an event that will inspire and motivate the next generation of animators in Paraguay.

The festival will take place on July 13th of this year, with 9 teams made of 49 animators total working tirelessly to complete their short films by the end of June. Your support is crucial in ensuring that we can provide a high-quality production, hire AV professionals, award prizes, and create an event that truly celebrates the hard work and creativity of our participants. This is a pivotal moment for Paraguayan animation!
Please consider backing our project. Also, you can share our Seed&Spark link in your social media.
Thank you for being a part of this journey and for helping us write the beginning pages of animation history in Paraguay!
