CAW 2025 Oska Bright Film Festival: Animation

Captioned film screening + live captions + BSL interpretation by Cathryn McShane

Oska Bright's animation screening is back and better than ever, with a huge range of styles and themes. Watch out for a paper cut-out that comes to life, bubble baths and miniature model wonderlands.

As well as Oska Bright’s incredible animation selection, The Different Voices training programme will showcase their brand new animated short Crybaby, a project that explores themes of self-identity, negative internal voices and personal growth. With guidance from the Biggerhouse team, Eleri Edwards developed her proposal and successfully secured funding from Ffilm Cymru.

Crybaby will premiere at this screening, expect to see many of its cast members, animators, and contributors in the audience.

Included in CAW Pass.
