"We are on the heels of a monumental year in 2023, celebrating the 50th conference. I think there's still a little sense of celebration in the air but definitely a homecoming of sorts returning back to Colorado not too far from the first conference site in Boulder. The Computer Animation Festival is excited to bring back additional screening opportunities, which we're calling the Animation Theater Daytime Selects. These will be two independent show reels that will also accompany the main Electronic Theater show," Kalaigian added.
