The Feedback Animation Film & Screenplay Festival is one of the WILDsound Feedback festivals and is devoted to animated films and to screenplays written for animation. Its central feature is the audience feedback video: a selected film is shown at a screening, and the viewers’ comments on it are recorded and edited into a video for the filmmaker. Films can also get an optional virtual screening on WILDsound TV, a podcast interview and a blog interview. On the screenplay side, every script receives written feedback, and winning scripts or their best scenes are performed by professional actors and published as videos.

The festival works as a series of showcases through the year, with audience awards announced after each one; its online archive of selections goes back to 2014–15. The event dates for the current submission cycle are 14–22 December 2026.
