  ASIFA against WAR - Send your animation / graphic files !
ASIFA has always been an organisation working across national, cultural or religious borders.

Sayoko Kinoshita reminds us of the pacifist tradition of ASIFA, her "Peace Bird" opens a new project on ASIFA.NET.
International artists are invited to send their graphic files, animated gifs or flash animation (maximum 100 KByte). They will be published on ASIFA.NET.



  The idea of ASIFA.NET : Permanent Call for Papers
The concept of the ASIFA Website, and particularily of the news-section, is TO SERVE AS AN OPEN PLATFORM,

     for all ASIFA Groups,
     ASIFA Offices and ASIFA members.

It means, that all ASIFA members are invited, to send the material, which they want to be published to the editor@asifa.net, and it will appear at the next up-date.

The coming dates for 2003:


5th May
 2nd June
14th July
1st September
 6th October
3rd November
15th December



  Proposal for a new organisational structure of ASIFA
The ASIFA Board has decided hold an
Extraordinary General Assembly
 at the Annecy 2003 Festival:
Thursday, 5th June 2003, 10.00-12.00
Friday, 6th June 2003, 10.00-12.00


The main issue of the proposal is, that in the future the ASIFA Board should be composed of the representatives of all ASIFA Groups and ASIFA Offices (groups with less than 10 members).
This "New ASIFA Board" should then decide about the composition of the "Executive Board", which will be responsible to organise the work and communication within ASIFA. This will be a smaller group of people, who will be responsible for clearly defined working fields.

We invite all ASIFA members, to make use of their democratic right to participate in this very important decision:
