BITBANG
BITBANG is a non-profit organization established in 2014 to promote and showcase avant-garde animation for young and adults. We are a platform that supports experimental, bold, and auteur-driven projects, focusing on innovative artists and amplifying diverse voices.
BITBANG is an international animation festival that has been held in Buenos Aires since 2015. Each year, we feature internationally and nationally recognized artists and uncover new talents. We foster creativity in animation by offering talks, workshops, and masterclasses with cutting-edge artists. Our editions include screenings, art installations, immersive experiences, collective and collaborative creation activities, exhibitions, video games, and multidisciplinary parties, all within a space that encourages exchanges between artists, professionals, and enthusiasts.
We host International and Latin American Competitions for Animation and receive over 2,000 films from more than 100 countries each year.
BITBANG attracts over 8,000 attendees annually.
Additionally, we organize events throughout the year, such as screenings, workshops, talks, and even an art camp. We believe that the arts are an integral part of life and that active participation in culture contributes to peaceful coexistence. Furthermore, our festival is itinerant, bringing the BITBANG experience to different provinces across Argentina.
BITBANG Festival and BITBANG Club provide access to high-quality artistic content and experiences for expression, learning, reflection, and play. We offer a space for experimentation, co-creation, innovation, dialogue, and the birth of new projects. We create a meeting point between animation, video games, and digital art, attracting curious minds from around the world who come to discover, be inspired, connect, and share.
