Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival (est 2005), is an
annual animation festival that runs each November at the Plaza Theatre
in Calgary. GIRAF celebrates the spirit of independent,
underground, and experimental animation, showcasing Canadian animators
and presenting diverse animations from around the globe. We’ve showcased
the award winning independent work artists including Don Hertzfedlt,
Bruce Bickford, Brandon Bloomaert, Barry Doupe, Cordell Barker, Richard

rarely seen at other festivals.
