Animation First 2025: Animation Speak/Easy

Animation Speak/Easy: An evening of animated inspiration, discussion and drinks  

Calling all animation lovers, artmakers and curious audiences! 

Animation First is thrilled to host our second Animation Speak/Easy during the festival. Join us for a one-of-a-kind evening of animated inspiration, discussion and drinks. 

Created by NYC-based animation filmmakers, Animation Speak/Easy is an interactive event where three guest artists are invited to share an animated short that inspires them, followed by a lively audience discussion. Their bimonthly events bring together curious artmakers who are passionate about animation and its constantly changing forms. 

Guest speakers will be announced soon. 

Special thanks to Lisa LaBracio, Andy London and Anna Samo, co-founders of Animation Speak/Easy.
