The Animation Showcase

The Animation Showcase is a travelling film screening collection, showcasing animated short films.

With the support of the private members club Soho House, the showcase started in 2016 with the goal of finding upcoming creative talents in the animation industry and promoting animation in the creative industry. The Animation Showcase hosts a yearly "Best of the Year" screening, highlighting films that are likely to become shortlisted and eventual nominees for the Academy Awards Best Animated Short Film category.

The Animation Showcase has been screened in major animation studios, startups, and locations, including Pixar Animation Studios, Laika, Disney Animation Studios, DreamWorks, Google San Francisco, YouTube London, Blur Studio, Cartoon Network, and Soho House (London, New York, Berlin, Shoreditch East London).

The Animation Showcase became available worldwide for members of the film industry via its own streaming platform, which was created during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The screening lasts around an hour and ends with a question-and-answer session with invited filmmakers. From 2015 until 2018, the screenings were free entrance and/or by invitation.

Traveling mostly in Europe and the US, the "Best of the Year" showcase highlights animated short films, months before the official announcement of Academy Awards nominations.
