For the first time, five artists from five continents were selected to commemorate Global Movie Day with an illustration inspired by their favorite movie genre, including animation/fantasy, drama, musicals and sci-fi. The artists are Jen Du, Maxime Manga, Magnus Voll Mathiassen, Giselle Matz and Camila Rosa. The artwork will be unveiled online Saturday.

Global Movie Day is commemorated annually on the second Saturday of February.

The inaugural Global Movie Day was February 8, 2020, the day before the 92nd Oscars®. People throughout the world are encouraged to participate by sharing photos and videos across their social media platforms and using the hashtag #GlobalMovieDay.
