Can’t make it to CAF in person, or wish you could catch the stuff you missed IRL? Our CAF Online programme brings the festival to you. Watch all the short films on demand, whenever you like – or join our watch parties to enjoy them together with us and say hi in the chat! Alongside the films, there are online-only events, including a cosy workshop with Jamie Fern Hensley Davies (JAMIEvstheVOID), and filmmaker Q&As with Animation Industry Podcast’s Terry Ibele and WIA UK’s Amy Ashton. We’ll also be unlocking special recordings from the archive that didn’t get nearly enough airtime the first time around – plus more surprises to be announced…
