Open World Animation Festival is an annual festival dedicated to showcasing cutting edge animation from across the world! The 2024 festival takes place October 24th-27th at the historic Roxy Theatre in Northampton, PA.

OPEN WORLD ANIMATION FESTIVAL ENCOURAGES CREATORS TO EXPLORE THE FRONTIERS OF ANIMATION THROUGH BOTH TRADITIONAL & EMERGING MEDIUMS.

Over 120 films from 30 countries and 10 languages will play in competition this year, including VR animation!

The festival was launched in 2016 by the Alternative Gallery and 2024 marks not only the return of the event after a hiatus during the Pandemic, but is also the festival's first year taking place in a movie theater!
