In 2002, Asifa, the International Animated Film Association, launched a
global event to celebrate the art of animation. October 28th was proclaimed as
« International animation day » (IAD), commemorating the first public
performance of Emile Reynaud’s Theatre Optique in Paris in 1892.
Such a celebration is an outstanding opportunity to
put the animated film in the limelight and make this art more accessible to the
public.
Who can join IAD ?
Beyond the several national Asifa national Chapters
(more than 30 different countries) which celebrate the International Animation
Day, any cultural or educational organization can join this event by screening
animated films, organizing workshops, exhibiting artwork and stills, providing
technical demonstrations, helping to promote the art of animation…
For which audience?
The wide variety of films enables suitable programs
for every type of audience, from those seeking creative stimuli, philosophical,
psychological, etc. to those looking for entertainment suitable for adults, for
youth or for kids.
Program exchange
A system of program exchanges was created to help
participants put together culturally diverse animation programs from around the
world, for example Brazil, China, France, Hungary, Korea, Poland, Portugal, Russia,
USA, or Ghana. The exchange is an incredible opportunity to discover films from
all over the world during this great international animation celebration.
October 28, the International Animation Day (IAD) was proclaimed in 2002 by the ASIFA as the main global event to celebrate the art of animation.

On October 28, 2011, Commonwealth leaders unanimously agreed that female heirs to the throne would be equal in the rules of succession. The ruling means that sons and daughters of British monarchs will have equal claim to the throne. The previous rules, that had been in place for over three hundred years, stated that first-born sons had the right to the throne and daughters would only inherit the monarchy had no sons been born or survived. They also agreed to lift the ban that stated British monarchs could not marry Roman Catholics.
