ANIMATE DUBAI GCC's first international animation festival.

The first edition of ANIMATE DUBAI will take place 3–5 December at Dubai Design District, the city’s novel creative hub. The three-day festival offers a weekend packed with animated films, themed talks, fun activities for all ages, and a chance to meet animation pioneers from all around the world.
 
Following an overwhelming response with over 1000 submissions earlier this year, the Animate Dubai team has extended the deadline for entries until 20 August.  Arab and international animation professionals, amateurs, and students are invited to submit features, shorts, series, experimental, and commercial work across all genres before the new deadline.
