Welcome to the website of the 8th Animation Dingle Festival in Dingle, Ireland, where industry and third level participants join together to celebrate the best in class of animated content. The event is made up of conferences, screenings, workshops, and Animation Awards 2020.
Announcement
Following the Irish Government statement this morning, it is with heavy hearts that we can confirm Animation Dingle 2020 is now cancelled. This was unexpected but understandable. We take the health and safety of our visiting students, filmmakers, sponsors, volunteers and the wider community very seriously.
Knowing how important The Animation Dingle Student Awards and YAOTY is to so many, we are planning to broadcast a closed door event on Friday 20th at 8pm. Details to follow.
Obviously everyone involved in the organisation of Animation Dingle are deeply disappointed but we look forward to welcoming you to an even bigger, better festival next year.
In the meantime, we urge everyone to stay safe, to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by the WHO.
All tickets will be refunded.
See you in 2021!
