It’s that time of the year again to announce the now tra­di­tional Encoun­ters Bris­tol Inter­na­tional Film Fes­ti­val. It will be hap­pen­ing this Novem­ber, show­cas­ing ani­ma­tion and live action tal­ent from around the world.

This year it will host a series of sym­po­siums on future ideas and future trends with indus­try spe­cial­ists, such as Stu­dio AKA. There will be 3D and RED Cam­era work­shops and more. It will include some free events and guests includ­ing Francine Stock, pre­sen­ter of Radio Four’s The Film Programme.

The full fes­ti­val pro­gramme, del­e­gate reg­is­tra­tion and online ticket sales will be avail­able mid-October. For more infor­ma­tion visit the Encoun­ters Fes­ti­val web­site. And, of course, you can find them on Face­book and Twit­ter @EncountersSFF #ENC2011.
