The SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival presents computer animation and digital imagery through its Electronic Theater and Animation Theater. Its selection spans animated shorts, visual effects, advertising, game cinematics, real-time graphics, and scientific visualization. Professional and student projects share the program, with submissions reviewed by a dedicated jury. The festival forms part of ACM SIGGRAPH’s North American conference, while operating independently of the SIGGRAPH Asia Computer Animation Festival, with separate juries and acceptance procedures.
The 2027 edition is part of SIGGRAPH at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, United States, from 8–12 August 2027.
