"An exceptional program that starts off strong and only gets better as it goes, the 19th Annual Animation Show of Shows overflows with charm while containing more provocative observations about the nature of existence than most prestige feature films do." John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter

For its first 16 years, THE ANIMATION SHOW OF SHOWS founded and curated by Ron Diamond, has been presenting new and innovative short films to animation studios, societies, schools and festivals around the world. Over the years, 36 of the films showcased in the Show of Shows went on to receive Academy Award® nominations, with 10 films winning the Oscar®. The only downside was that only a relatively small number of people, primarily in the professional animation community, had the opportunity to see these cinematic gems in a theatrical setting. So, in 2015, the 17th edition was expanded to include public screenings in cities around the world, allowing general audiences to experience these singular works of art on the big screen, as they were meant to be seen.

This first public program in 2015 was the biggest in the show’s history, including 435 screenings in 50 cities in the U.S., Canada, Spain, South Africa, and Australia. Also for the first time, the films were paired with originally produced revealing documentary portraits of a number of the directors that illuminated the motivation, process and experiences that led them to make their films. The 17th Annual Animation Show of Shows continues it's release with public showings in Cairo, Egypt; Poznan, Poland and throughout Italy. Please contact Ron.Diamond@AnimationShowofShows.org if you would like to help facilitate a showing of the program in any new place, including college campuses and foreign lands.
