Two years ago, a group of Southern California educators formed an Animation Educator's Forum in order to begin a dialogue and share information with all those who teach animation. Thanks to the generous support of ASIFA/Hollywood, the AEF has created a successful Student Film Festival/The Student Annie Awards, a retrospective of educators personal films entitled " Those Who Teach- Do!", and will soon launch a new interactive website to suit the needs of animation instructors.\\The Animation Educator's Forum is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of animation through education. Our members, with their diverse backgrounds in both the animation and educational fields, are focused on extending their knowledge and experience to others within the burgeoning animation community, worldwide.
