The Young Filmmakers’ Competition is back for its 9th year! BFMAF encourages and supports budding young filmmakers in the region through separate competition streams: The Young Filmmakers’ Award (14 years and under) and The Chris Anderson Award (15-19 years old). The Chris Anderson Award is supported by Chrissie Anderson and Paul W.S. Anderson, director of Resident Evil and Alien vs. Predator.
Space to play, explore and to unleash your imagination! Explore is a brand new BFMAF kids and family-friendly space at 59 Marygate with rolling animation programmes (11am-6pm) and creative activities offered (11am–4pm). Artists Katie Chappell and Chloe Smith will be leading drop-in creative activities for children and their families, inspired by the film animations.
