As part of the British Animation Awards, several voting screenings are taking place nationwide to decide the Public Choice Award. This is your chance to select your favourite films from some of the best animated short films and music videos made over the past two years. There are three 80 minute programmes taking place over three evenings at The Mockingbird Theatre in the Custard Factory.

The nights will be presented by Marc Silk, the incredible voice behind Johnny Bravo, U.S. Bob The Builder, and Aks Moe in Star Wars Episode I. Drinks and meals are available at the bar, so come down for a great opportunity to meet other animators, filmmakers and fellow film lovers.

The screenings are hosted by Dice Productions and Birmingham City University.
