Welcome
This world famous animation festival, celebration and exhibition is in its fourteenth year and is shaping up to be our best yet. Over the past years, students from the digital animation degrees have won or been nominated in more than 140 digital animation competitions worldwide, come and see the newest batch of talented digital animation artists. As always it will be held at the stunning 450 seater Weston Auditorium.
About the event
The event is divided into two halves. In the morning there is a great line up of industry speakers from leading Film Visual Effects, Games and Animation industries.
Last year we had speakers from Splash Damage, Blue Zoo, Stardust Pictures and Double Negative talking about their latest projects and releases.
The afternoon holds our prestigious animation film showcase, containing the very best 3D, Games, VFX and 2D animated movies from our graduating class. These films are in stiff competition with each other to win top prizes decided upon by a distinguished panel of industry judges. Last year the audience was a whopping 450 people and at capacity, the day is free to all but seats are in high demand so please book tickets on time to avoid disappointment.
