Toronto Welcomes its First International

The
Toronto
Animation Arts Festival International (TAAFI)
launches July 6-8, 2012 at the TIFF Bell
Lightbox to celebrate the many forms of animation, including long- and
short-format film and television, gaming and interactive, and the Canadian
industry that creates the animated arts.
