Slogan Of The Festival
涅槃(Nirvana, Yeol-Ban)
Ten (sounds Yeol in Korean) is aperfect number meaning complete fullness and the Chinese character BAN (般) has the meaning of enjoyment and uplifting. In many difficultsituations, an animator comes to complete their animations one by one throughthe creating process with agonies and sufferings. He or she realizes ten kindsof pleasure of animation creating. And finally the animator enters into Nirvana(Yeol-Ban) after reaching the ultimate stage. Imparting a meaning to 10thpleasure, we gladly would like to uplift pleasure and congratulate on our 10thIndie-AniFest along with everyone that participates in this festival.
