Manchester Animation Festival

The best animated short films from around the globe playing in competition at MAF. Whether you’re an animation aficionado or this is your first experience beyond the mainstream, let MAF welcome you to the world of animation with our selection of international short films playing in competition.

This relaxed screening is for a range of audience members who benefit from a less formal environment. This includes those with Autism Spectrum conditions, learning disabilities, Tourette's Syndrome, ADHD or people with other neurodiverse conditions. In a relaxed screening, you can expect low lights to remain on in the cinema and lower sound, with audiences free to move around if needed. These screenings will be limited to 50% capacity.

Please remember to treat other audience members with kindness, and to respect everyone's unique ways of enjoying animation.
