Now celebrating ten years, Ajayu has become one of Peru’s leading festivals dedicated exclusively to animated cinema, as well as a vital space for the development, circulation and visibility of animated works from the southern Andean territories. Marking this milestone, the festival reaffirms its commitment to cultural decentralization by promoting a diverse, accessible, and identity-driven audiovisual industry.
This year’s central theme is “Peace Narratives”, a curatorial focus for part of the programming and will be highlighted in a special section in the general program. However, this theme is not a submission requirement, as the call welcomes animated works on any topic.
Ajayu continues to be a space for gathering, exhibition, and reflection on animation as an artistic language and a tool for social transformation. The selected works will be part of the festival’s official showcase and will actively contribute to a curatorial vision that celebrates ten years of legacy.
