International Student Animation Festival

The disruptions of the last few years forced some very difficult decisions upon us and perhaps the hardest was having to pause our annual spotlight on the world of international student animation. BUT IT’S BACK! This year we happily relaunch a mini festival-within-a-festival dedicated entirely to the dynamic world of student animation. In a day dedicated to watching AND talking we have pulled together three fabulous, short programs for films from some of the best schools in the world and we’re busy assembling a roster of way-cool guests and presenters to come in to share their work, tell their stories and pass on their advice. So whether you’re in the bar, the foyer or the cinema there will always be something going down.

All sessions are classified: Unclassified (M) Mature, not recommended for viewers under 15 years.

Please note that Backlot is NOT fully accessible. There are stairs with handrails, but no lift to the second floor where the cinema is located.
