 Welcome to the NSCC's 8th Annual Animedia Fest!

Animedifest is being organized by Student Team Leads from the NSCC Digital Animation 2nd year class. The volunteer committees of Interactive & Motion Graphic and Digital Animation Students have been busy researching content, holding fundraising events and creating graphics for promoting the festival. We have witnessed major changes in the economy this year, which have strongly impacted the Animation and New Media Industry. Join the Students on their investigative journey of exploring future opportunities in their chosen field of study.

Yours,
