The SIGGRAPH Asia Computer Animation Festival selects computer-generated films and digital imagery for its Electronic Theater and Animation Theater screenings. Its international jury considers animated shorts, feature-film excerpts, music videos, commercials, visual effects, real-time animation, and scientific visualizations. Student projects compete alongside professional work, with a dedicated student award. The festival forms part of the ACM SIGGRAPH Asia conference and has its own submission process, jury, and awards.

The 2026 edition takes place from 1–4 December 2026 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The program includes the two curated theater screenings and recognizes work through jury and audience awards.
