Within the Frame 2026 Animation Screening | San Francisco CA

A multi-genre showcase of independent animated shorts! Each made in a week with varying mediums, based on the prompt "forget me not." Within The Frame is an annual animation challenge where artists are tasked with creating a short film in just 7 days. This year, filmmakers were asked to create a short based on the prompt "forget me not." With three previous anthologies under our belt, we're proud and delighted to be hosting our 2026 SF screening at Madrone Art Bar in Brooklyn! Madrone Art Bar is a constantly changing art instillation enviroment as well as a bar with super yummy drinks. Come join us for a showcase of just over 30 charming, magical, and perhaps even peculiar films by independent artists from across the globe. Hope to see you there :D This event is 21+ only Within The Frame is run by Hale Stemmons and Anjali Pulim.
