A Quarterly animation night in Birmingham
Based in Birmingham UK, Overlap is an animation show and tell night.
It's fun and messy. People introduce their work and a main guest 'show&tell's theirs, often with weird performances mixed in. The purpose is to create a regular deadline for filmmakers, and to be a way for the animation community to get together.
Each quarter we have an optional prompt. If it’s interesting, entertaining or well-made we’ll consider it. Animations from 1 second long can be submitted. We’re also a safe space for everyone, including smut. If there’s something sensitive, keep an open mind. Hearing the filmmaker's perspective helps too.
​
Overlap is organised by Louis Hudson.
