Manchester Animation Festival, which was first established in 2015, has been granted Academy Award-winning status, meaning it’s the only dedicated event of its kind in the UK that allows winners to enter the Oscars’ Best Short Film stakes.
“It’s an honour to represent both Manchester and the UK animation community by standing with some of the most prestigious film events in the world as an Academy-qualifying festival.”
Steve Henderson, Festival Direcor
Manchester Animation Festival returns to Manchester theatre, cinema and art complex HOME from November 12-17 .
