Encounters Film Festival in Bristol
Bristol's celebration of animated and short films.
Bristol is a city pulsing with creative talent, and it’s also home to the UK’s leading short film and animation festival. From 15th – 20th September, there will be screenings both celebrating renowned filmmakers and welcoming emerging talent.
It’s also a competition, held in high esteem - the winner of the Encounters Festival Grand Prix qualify for consideration in the Short Films category of the Annual Academy Awards®.
In 2014, Jennifer Reeder scooped the top prize for the Brief Grand Prix with her short A Million Miles Away. You can watch a teaser trailer for the film below.
