Manchester Animation Festival, UK’s largest Animation Festival, returns November 15-30 this year with a 100% online format! Which means for the first time ever the festival programme, which comprises an action-packed line-up of animation shorts, features, interviews, masterclasses, live Q&As and MORE, will be available for worldwide viewing to ticket holders from the comfort of their own homes.

We are delighted to announce that Brown Bag Films are teaming up once again with MAF as Principal Sponsor of the new Industry Day, which takes place on Thursday, November 19, with a range of live events for animation professionals to gain valuable insight into the Industry.

Linking with the Industry Day, the MAF Marketplace returns in its new virtual format to connect companies and animation studios to showcase their work and meet the festival delegates. You'll find our very own Brown Bag Films representatives at the Marketplace alongside Jellyfish Pictures Ltd, Marks & Clerk, Animation Toolkit, the Young Audiences Content Fund (BFI), Blue Zoo, Toon Boom and the University of Salford.
