AS FILM FESTIVAL (AsFF) is the first international film festival managed by ND people, i.e neurodivergent people and neurotypical people. It was born as a follow-up of a wider program, started up by Not Equal Association in 2008, and based on the idea of using cinema as a tool for social inclusion. AsFF is unique because it is not a festival about autism, but a film festival made by people with autism.
We are proud to announce that we have has graduate animations selected both for the 2024 and 2025 editions of the festival.
Le Château Des Chats and Madeline’s House were both selected as finalists in Animation Now! Competition in the 2024 edition of AsFF. Both animations were screened during the 2024 Festival, on 16-17th November at Casa del Cinema in Rome.
In 2025 we had three graduate animations chosen as finalists for the Animation Now! Competition. The Elevator, Why Won't Anyone Eat Me and This is The Life were all screened on 15-16th November 2025, at Casa del Cinema in Rome.

In October 2024 graduate animation Madeline’s House was selected for the Graduation Short Films Competition at ANIMA Córdoba International Animation Festival in Argentina.
‘The festival is both an academic and cultural event, devoted specifically to animation in its artistic and technological dimensions. Held every odd year since 2001, ANIMA is the main animation event in Argentina and a very influential player in its field in Latin America. Every edition, ANIMA gathers a wonderful community of animators and live action filmmakers, designers, producers, visual and audiovisual artists, who get together and share through panels, seminars, exhibitions, screenings and social networking opportunities.’ (quote from https://filmfreeway.com/animafestival)
