MISSION & OBJECTIVE
Promoting Animated movies, creating exciting networking opportunities for film-makers and film-lovers, plus plenty of awards, great screenings and interesting Q&A's!
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The British Animation Film Festival is a proud supporter of animated films, student animations, world and independent animated films.
We aim to give you a great platform to screen your film, and great venues for your audience to watch them in.
Each film selected will be eligible for the audience awards. Both BAFF 2012 and BAFF 2013 were sold out events, and BAFF 2017 looks set to be even bigger and better than before!
All film-makers will receive one comp pass to the Festival.
