The event is described as follows:

"a look at how animation can bring another dimension to your film, or stand alone in its own right. Filming through a lens has physical limitations on what you can put and do in front of a camera. Animation offers a way of letting your imagination run free and achieve scenes that would otherwise be impossible to shoot."

According to BFI:

"Professional artists, animators and animation software experts will discuss the topic during an on-stage Q&A, followed by a choice of animation workshops and masterclasses on the most popular techniques of animation. At the end of the day you’ll also have the chance to network with industry experts and fellow filmmakers and animators"
