2026 Undies Screening

It’s time for the 2026 Undies Screening! Celebrate everyone’s work from the past year and get into the Halloweenie spirit.

Welcome back for the 8th annual Undies Screening!

Come celebrate the films created by the School of Visual Arts (SVA) BFA Animation students over the past year and support your friends and classmates. Our incoming freshman class of 2029 will participate in our judging panel for the Undies Awards as per tradition. All audience members will also have the opportunity to vote for the winner of the 2025 Undies Audience Choice Award.

The 6th Annual Screening Event, The Undies, exclusively showcases all finished films created by BFA Animation underclass students during the previous year. It is a platform of recognition and exposure to celebrate the creativity and artistry of animation. Prizes will be given in a total of six categories, including 1) Best In Show, 2) Best Animation, 3) Best Production Design, 4) Best Soundtrack, 5) Best Story, and 6) “Dirty Undies” distinctions. Awards will be juried by ballot during the event, exclusively by attending SVA BFA Animation Department first-year students.
