En 2002, l’Association internationale du film d’animation (Asifa) lançait la Journée mondiale du cinéma d’animation pour commémorer la première projection publique du Théâtre optique d’Émile Reynaud à Paris, au Musée Grévin, le 28 octobre 1892.
Outre les différents groupes nationaux de l’Asifa (présents dans une trentaine de pays) qui célèbrent cette journée mondiale, l’Asifa invite tous les amoureux de l’animation à se joindre à cette célébration en organisant des projections, des ateliers d’initiation, en montant une exposition, une démonstration technique…
Cette célébration est une occasion unique de mettre la lumière sur le cinéma d’animation, un art qui connaît un engouement sans précédent dans le monde, mais dont la diffusion reste encore restreinte et donc difficile d’accès pour une grande partie du public.
Cette année, la Journée mondiale du cinéma d’animation se tiendra dans 49 pays différents à travers le monde. Pour la première fois des pays aussi culturellement divers que la Colombie, le Chili, le Paraguay, l’Uruguay, l’Estonie, la Turquie, le Liban, la Grèce, Cuba, l’Italie, la Chine et la Russie vont participer. Au Brésil, au Canada, en Finlande, en Inde, en Iran, en Israël, au Japon, en Espagne et aux États-Unis, il y aura plusieurs jours de célébration, dans différents lieux. La manifestation durera deux semaines en France et un mois entier à Beijing en Chine (Institut français). L’initiative de l’Asifa de mettre en place un système d’échange de programmes entre pays participants est devenu opérationnel et a pris de l’ampleur. Certains de ses groupes ont proposé des programmes gratuits en DVD (Bulgarie, France, Hongrie, Israël, Japon, USA Atlanta), mais des programmes parviennent aussi de pays sans groupes Asifa (Argentine, Brésil et Portugal). C’est un grand pas en avant pour le développement de la Journée mondiale du cinéma d’animation.
