Manchester Animation Festival

MAF proudly presents a chorus of new voices entering the world of animation; our showcase of student excellence screens short films that convey raw and powerful talent, that can only grow from here. Keep it in your calendars — these are the ones to watch.

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.

This screening carries the following trigger warnings for content: Mental Illness, Transphobia and transmisogyny, Violence, Nudity Trigger warning content categories used are courtesy of the Film and TV Charity's advice: https://bit.ly/3VUsEF4
