It’s awards time on Thursday 4 June at the inaugural Bedfordshire Animation Graduate Screening Awards, when the BAGSAs – Luton’s answer to the BAFTAs - comes to The Green Room. Up-and-coming new animation talent will present a range of 2D, 3D and stop motion animation productions followed by an informal awards ceremony. The event starts at 6.30pm and entrance is £4.50 or free with the Festival Pass.
The University’s student film makers of the future have the opportunity to showcase their work on Friday 5 June at A Premiere Degree at the Hat Factory.
