With a generous grant from the Walter Lantz Foundation, and thanks to our corporate members DisneyToon Studios, DreamWorks Animation SKG, Lucasfilm Animation, Nickelodeon Animation Studios, PDI/Dreamworks, Pixar Animation Studios, Sony Pictures Digital Productions, STARZ Animation, 20th Century Fox/ Blue Sky Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Television Animation , ASIFA-Hollywood was able to organize and sponsor many extraordinary events. ASIFA-Hollywood hosted a series of monthly symposiums called Animation Salon at Woodbury University’s Fletcher Jones Foundation Auditorium. The series was aimed at professionals and students of the medium, and consisted of informal discussions on topics related to animation filmmaking. From subjects like pop cultural literacy to acting for animation, the series brought together the creative spirit of the animation community and fostered the interaction of the membership of ASIFA-Hollywood. ASIFA-Hollywood made its seventh appearance at the San Diego Comic Con, a five-day event celebrating fantasy and science fiction. The organization became a headlining participant with panel discussions ranging from voice acting symposiums to discussion on the state of the animation industry. ASIFA-Hollywood also participated in the first annual Creative Talent Network Animation Expo (CTN-X) which was held at the Burbank Marriott Convention Center. ASIFA-Hollywood celebrated the anniversaries of two very special motion pictures in 2009. To commemorate the twentieth anniverary of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, character animator Tom Sito moderated a panel consisting of Mark Henn, Andreas Deja, Ruben Aquino, Jon Musker, Ron Clements, Tina Price, Gary Trousedale and many more who were on hand to discuss the making of the film that marked the start of an era known as the Disney Renaissance. In celebration of the tenth anniversary of The Iron Giant, ASIFA-Hollywood hosted an evening with some of the animators and crew members at the Steve J. Ross Theater on the Warner Bros. lot. Among the many artists in attendance were Brad Bird, Alan Bodner, Steve Markowski, and Scott Johnston. Moderated by Tom Sito, the crew shared stories, pictures and behind-the-scenes footage of a film that transcended the art form. Two very special traveling animation shows were showcased at DreamWorks Animation. The best of animation from the ASIFA/East Animation Festival was featured in the ASIFA/East Reel, a compilation from ASIFA-Hollywood’s sister organization. The 11th Animation Show of Shows, presented by Ron Diamond and sponsored by AWN.com and Acme Filmworks, gave members a peek into the best animation of 2009. Major studio releases for 2009 were shown at exclusive ASIFA-Hollywood screenings, which included panel discussions with filmmakers at notable venues in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Titles like Up, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Coraline, Ponyo, Open Season 2, The Princess and the Frog, Monsters vs Aliens, The Secret of Kells, Missing Lynx, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure and Mary and Max showed members of ASIFA-Hollywood that not only can animation be humorous but also tell stories through different forms of animation where characters examine the purpose of life though thought-provoking storytelling. The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive is continuing its efforts to create a world-class archive, library and museum dedicated to the art form. Archive director Stephen Worth and a handful of volunteers have made it a world-class facility with more growth yet to come. From the blog to the day-to-day operations, the database at the archive facility in Burbank contains content not seen in years. Work is underway to build a digital archive, a database containing hundreds of thousands of image files, biographical sketches, filmographic data and animated films all searchable by keyword. You can read about the day-by-day progress of this project on the Archive Blog located at www.animationarchive.org. ASIFA-Hollywood, the largest of an international network of chapters, supports a range of animation initiatives though its membership. In addition to the Annie Awards projects include special animation events, symposiums and screenings, film and video archives and film preservations.
