ASIFA Thailand is the 40th Chapter founded in 2015 of ASIFA (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation) founded in 1960 in Annecy,
France as an association of individual animation artists. Today ASIFA can be
described as an international network of numerous local ASIFA Chapters, which
have developed their own local identities and special activities.
ASIFA was established in 1960 as a non-profit corporation

Animation.

animation in different ways, then these groups and individual members come
together, in order to work for the benefit of animation on the international
level. We are volunteer run and our members have a say in our activities and
advocacy through their chapter representatives and the ASIFA General Assembly
meetings (which can be attended by any ASIFA member). In addition to being
