Endless Frames: XA Showcase 2026

Join us for Endless Frames: XA Showcase 2026, a screening and celebration of awe-inspiring projects created by students in the USC Expanded Animation Research + Practice (XA) MFA Thesis class! In addition to these visionary thesis projects, the showcase also includes a collaborative film made in the XA Documentary Animation Production class.

Works created in the XA program span a broad spectrum of genres and techniques, including character and experimental animation, traditional and non-linear narrative, documentary, stop motion, motion capture, VR, 2D, 3D, AI, and handmade animation.

The screening begins at 1:00PM in the elegant, state-of-the-art Eileen Norris Cinema Theatre on the USC campus. Following the screening, please join us for a reception directly outside the theater in Queen’s Courtyard.
