Animation Festivals Directory

The Quirino Awards were born from the need to recognize talent in the Ibero-American animation industry, generating ties and networks between both sides of the ocean.

The event therefore brings together the flourishing Latin American industry, together with that of Portugal, Andorra and Spain, building a true twinning to develop together the great market that is Latin America.

The awards have been named in honor of the creator of the first animated feature film in history; In 1917 Quirino Cristiani directed “The Apostle” , an Argentine production where 58,000 35 mm drawings were used, in addition to several models.

In this way, the Quirino Awards pay tribute to Ibero-American talent and creativity.
