Animation Dingle NOW an Academy qualifying festival for Short Film Awards. "Top 25 Events in The World Not-To-Be-Missed” Animation Magazine

Set in magical Dingle – on the most westerly peninsula of Europe, the hugely successful Animation Dingle takes place annually in March. 700 animators descend on Dingle to mingle and learn from some of the makers of the world’s best animators, who in turn scope out the incredible talent this country produces. Life- long lessons and valuable connections get forged as students immerse themselves in a weekend of jam packed activities in a thought provoking, inspiring and fun environment. Animation Dingle is brought to us by the renowned award winning animation company JAM Media and Maurice Galway, who have shone a light on the incredible student creativity that this small island produces while attracting contributors from all over the world since the festival started in 2013.
