2019 VFX Festival 6-7 February

The UK's annual VFX Festival, hosted by Escape Studios, is taking place in three weeks from 6-7 February at London's South Bank Centre, in the Purcell Room.

The 2019 VFX Festival is a great place to find out about the latest developments in Animation, Games and VFX, and we encourage all our students, past and present, to attend if they can.

This year the VFX Festival kicks off with the "Emerging Talent" event, aimed at students and recent graduates, which runs for two days, from February 6th to 7th.

South Bank Centre, London

What is the VFX Festival?
The VFX Festival is an annual event organised by London's Escape Studios, bringing the expertise and skill of the UK's animating and VFX industry to a wide audience.

Why attend?
Because there is no better way to find out about the latest trends in our industry. What companies are hiring, and for what roles? What skills are currently in demand?

We strongly encourage all our current, past and future students to attend. Print yourself some stylish business cards, and come along and find out what the future holds for our industry.

Where and When?
The "Emerging Talent" part of the 2019 VFX Festival will run at London's South Bank from Wednesday 6th to Thursday 7th February 2019.  Address: Purcell Room, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 8XX

What's on display?
The 2019 schedule is a series of industry talks and showcases from across the VFX, Animation, Games and Motion Graphics sectors.  VFX is a constantly changing landscape. Last year's "big thing" is this year's old news. So come along and find out about the latest trends in our industry.

Recruiters
For many Animation Apprentice students and recent graduates, the most important part of the Festival is probably the recruiters, who come from all the big animation and VFX houses hunting for talent. If you'd like to meet in person the people who could help you get a job (and why wouldn't you?) - this is the place to be.

Where can you book tickets?
2019 Tickets are on sale for the "Emerging Talent" event on 6-7 February at the EventBrite page here.
