Encounters Short film Festival returns this November to celebrate 15 years of supporting new national and international short film and animation talent with a jam-packed programme. New for this year is an Online Audience Award partnered with Babelgum, extended competition programmes and more delegate only events than ever before. Check out the full programme now online at www.encounters-festival.org.uk



Delegate passes are one of the best ways to visit the festival with unlimited access to the delegate lounge and viewing library and the benefit of being able to mingle with filmmakers and industry professionals. The passes also offer two complimentary competitive screenings per day (subject to availability), limited tickets to sold out events, access to the exclusive delegate only events and industry screenings which include ‘Meet the Director’ and the ‘How to’ series. Also, all competitive screenings can be purchased for the bargain price of £2.50 before 16.00 on the day and there are invites to the exclusive Awards and Closing Night Party on 21 November.

Encounters are offering all Bristol Media members a 10% discount on delegate passes using the code 2009bristolm.

Interested? Then act quickly – there are limited passes available and they’re going fast; you need to register before Monday 8 November to be included in the industry directory and have a printed pass. You can still register after this date, but it will not be possible to list your name in the directory.
