Over 1,000 attendees are expected to attend in San Diego, CA for this year’s conference. The conference will feature more than 100 presentations, workshops, and seminars as well as nearly two dozen support groups.

Description
The 1st Annual OCD Animation Festival will allow the audience to see the world through the eyes and thoughts of the OCD mindset. We will showcase between 15 to 20 films about OCD, most of which will be produced by OCD sufferers. Attendees will be given the opportunity to become critics and vote for their favorite animation and an award for audience favorite will be given (at a later time) to that winning filmmaker. Discussion will also follow the showing.
Please note: due to possibly uncomfortable and/or disturbing scenes or themes, this presentation is not recommended for children 8-years-old or younger.
