We’re joining Underwire partner, BFI Future Film Festival, this weekend as part of their three-day bonanza of sessions, screenings and talks for aspiring filmmakers aged 15-25. They are hosting absolutely jam-packed days, and we’ll be there on Sunday as part of their focus on Animation. Teaming up with the Animate Projects team, we’re hosting the panel ‘Life at 25 frames per second’ where we’ll be talking to three very talented animators about life after graduation, retaining creative integrity whilst also paying the rent, and what it’s like to live your life always thinking about 25 frames per second. The panel is at 4pm on Sunday at the BFI Southbank in the Blue Room, and we’re excited to have Abigail Addison from the Animate Projects team to host the event.
