February 2025 'Impossible'


    We had impossible geometry, impossible stunts, overthinking, a creepy kid, a 13 year old's diary, buddhism, Traitors, Mafiosa Dog Judio, staring, and a Liverpool love story.


    Louis cheated death attempting the impossible. Escaping from a chained up straight jacket while doing a tricycle jump over the dearest thing to an animator , The Animators Survival Kit. He achieved none of this and fell of the stage in the process. Impossible.


    Moth Studio's founders, Margaux and Dan, did a deep dive into their film for Monument Valley III. The hit indie game is known for its mediative ‘felt’ narrative, beautiful art direction and MC Escher-like impossible geometry puzzles. Commissioned by Ustwo games & Netflix, Moth developed these characteristics into a cinematic, intimate story.



    Animation legend Chris Shepherd was also with us! We showed a selection of his most iconic films, and we were treated to reading of hids debut graphic novel, Anfield Road.


    We finished off the first half with a rapid fire Stare Out competition in honour of Chris' Stare Out Champtionship animations for the sketch show Big Train.




    Thanks to Poonam Maher, Max Priddy, Vontesse Betson, Jake Gardner and Jessica Fisher for their help running the event. Thanks to Second Home Studios  and Yamination for the continued sponsorship.

    November 2025 'Fortune'


      We had wheels of fortune, dog judo, alcoholism, war, space monsters, mystical adventures. Louis was dressed as a wheel of fortune which our Overlappers could spin for variously confusing prizes. We also had Jake Wesley-Worrall doing a turn as a dry ice clouded tarot card reader.


      There was a bumper crop of special guests. Dog and Rabbit's Dave Anderson introduced their cult internet series, Dog Judo.



      BAFTA, Emmy and Annie winning director Chris Tichborne talked about his role as Tim Burton's animation supervisor on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Wednesday.


      Finally, Alice Bloomfield and Jack Zhang came to the stage. Combined they have worked with some of the biggest names in fashion and music. Their clients include: Rihanna, MTV, Emmys, Ninja Tune, and Netflix.



      Also an illustrator, Alice’s self-described style is as opulent, perturbing and sleazy. Jack’s, a sensual dreamlike anime-inspired aesthetic. Alice’s short, Larval, hit the festival circuit last year, picking up a crop of awards including Best Short at Raindance.



      Thanks to Poonam Maher, Max Priddy, Thomas Pitts, Jessica Fisher, Freddie Fawke and Kai Doling for their help running the event. Thanks to Second Home Studios  and Yamination for the continued sponsorship.

      August 2025 'FOLKLORE'


        We had a Disney classic chopped into banging beats, Proverbial zen squashes, Amoebas, Batman ciggies, K-Pop Fire Demons, AI being consumed with overwhelming dread, and plenty of folklore. Max also made some lovely Overlap DnD-style dice to give out.


        Louis recounted and accidentally summoned Birmingham's foremost piece of folklore, the Piss Troll, while suspended in the air dressed as a fairy.


        Giovanna Ferrari is the writer and director of Cartoon Saloon’s latest short film, ÉIRU. As well as being honoured with the English premiere, we got to see Giovanna's career journey and an insightful behind the scenes look at this sure fire Oscar contender.
