Welcome back for our 5th 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 2027 will participate on our judging panel for the Undies Awards as per tradition. All audience members will also be able to vote on the winner of the 2023 Undies Audience Choice Award.

Films will be screened, costumes will be worn, awards will be won, and much fun will be had! We hope to see you there!

The Undies is a 3-hour screening event exclusively showcasing all finished films created during the previous year by the BFA Animation underclass students. 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.
