How is Animarquee operated?
We are a small team of dedicated and passionate animation lovers who volunteer their time to Animarquee. No one is paid and everything is operated in the free-time of the team.
What are the restrictions to your curation and listings?
Our focus is on animation and animated related works. We do not include live-action or general film, instead aiming to focus on 2D, 3D, stop-motion, hybrid, digital, and analog across all genres and time periods. We also don’t often focus on mainstream coverage such as international industry news or bigger budget films (such as Disney or Dreamworks). Furthermore, our focus is on New York City’s animation culture specifically.
Can I volunteer with Animarquee?
Absolutely! While we can’t always promise positions immediately, we are always seeking assistance with event attendance and tracking. To express interest feel free to email us at contact@animarquee.com.
Do you cover animation for kids or commercial/TV animation?
We focus on underrepresented and artistically ambitious work, but we don’t exclude genres. If a commercial or children's animation offers cultural, aesthetic, or thematic richness, we’re interested.
