International Animation Day (IAD) is commemorated annually on October 28 to honour the origins and influence of animation. This date marks the anniversary of Émile Reynaud's pioneering public projection of animated images, Théâtre Optique, in Paris on October 28, 1892. Established by ASIFA in 2002, IAD celebrates animation as a significant artistic and cultural medium, recognizing its diversity of techniques and universal appeal. The day is observed globally, appreciating animation's power to transcend language and cultural boundaries, and its impact on various media platforms.
