Brighton International Animation Festival 2023

Event Description

The festival is unique as, as well as hosting live events in Brighton, it offers selected filmmakers the opportunity to be screened on community, a not-for-profit local TV channel in the UK Latest TV in Brighton (but you can opt out of this). This serves over 350,000 households, so if your film is broadcast, it will be seen by thousands more! This will also give your film a broadcast credit. Latest TV is also the host venue for the live festival.
