It’s that wonderful time of year again! MAF has had it’s yearly makeover and we’re delighted to reveal the design for MAF 2026.
Pitstop Studios’ Lorna Bailey and Kaylie Joy Black take us on a trip through the woods to a hand crafted and mysterious realm where a mischievous fairy is intent on spreading the MAF Magic.

The new poster is above and if you head to our our social media and brand new website you’ll see that they have been changed to showcase the 2026 design. Look forward to September at our Programme Launch when we reveal the video for 2026 which is currently being created. Captured entirely in camera and paying tribute to Lotte Reiniger, whos film Prince Achmed celebrates it’s centenary in 2026. The MAF 2026 ident design and film celebrate the hand made and what makes animation magical!
