Presented by Dripsblack, AIGA Jacksonville and 5 Points Theatre, The Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival celebrates animation as a cultural and commercial medium with three days of screenings, parties and art in Jacksonville, Florida. The festival will be a hub for students and professionals from the fields of animation, design, illustration, and film, as well as add to the growing cultural landscape of festivals and events in Northeast Florida. Showcasing animation’s amazing diversity as a creative vehicle, from features to advertising and music videos to title sequences, Citrus Cel provides an annual forum for Northeast Florida design professionals, filmmakers and students who use animation in their work allowing local and regional design-related businesses and colleges to recruit and network.
