Welcome to the a “special” Skwigly podcast focused entirely on the animated strand of Bristol’s Encounters Festival, which wrapped up its 18th edition last month.

As well as reviews of some of the more notable films, we also interview Aardman co-founder and festival chairperson David Sproxton, special festival guest filmmaker Paul Bush, animation programme manager Kieran Argo along with Paul Hill and Jane Davies of A Productions, the team in charge of the festival’s animated visual branding.

So kick up your heels and imbibe some animationey culture!
