ANNY: Animation Nights New York is a curated monthly screening event and annual festival held in NYC. Admission is free. ANNY Best of Fest is a two day symposium held annually in NYC (Late Sept/Early Oct). The festival features animation screenings, fine art installations, professional panels, a virtual reality animation showcase, and industry events. ANNY was founded by Yvonne Grzenkowicz in 2015. The original program was curated by Grzenkowicz and Robert Lyons (ASIFA East.) After an invitation from Little Water Radio to use their old space at 207a Front St to premiere ANNY'S “NY Independents” screening, ANNY became an instant success. They soon outgrew the Front street space and moved to the expansive indoor lawn /plaza at 180 Maiden Lane. Current screenings are held at WeWork Dumbo Heights. The ANNY Best of Fest 2018 will be held in October at 180 Maiden Lane. ANNY is a non-profit organization and relies on sponsorship funding - for more information visit http://www.animationnights.com
