The organizers for the Birmingham Anime Film Festival (BAFF), a movie festival that sees a wide-variety of anime films shown in cinemas across Birmingham, will return this September and October.
The Birmingham Anime Film Festival will take place between Thursday 19th September and Sunday 6th October 2024, with films being screened at The Mockingbird Cinema, in Digbeth and Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) in Edgbaston. Tickets start from as little as £10, with films such as A Silent Voice, The Boy and the Heron, Pompo the Cinephile and Dragon Ball Super Super Hero, being screened throughout the event. A full schedule can also be found on the official BAFF website.
The Birmingham Anime Film Festival is organised by Birmingham-based media collective Geeky Brummie, Mockingbird Cinema and Midlands Arts Centre and all are proud to once again bring this cinematic anime festival to Birmingham.
Ryan Parish, Founder of Geeky Brummie says:
“We had an incredible response to BAFF 2023 last autumn, and so are really pleased we could bring it back again. We want the festival to fly the flag for Anime in the Midlands region and show there’s an anime for everyone.”
Lee Nabbs, Owner of The Mockingbird Cinema comments:
“As the home of Commercial, Classic and Cult Cinema in Digbeth, we’re proud to come back with another barnstorming selection of anime to feast your eyes upon!”
David Baldwin, Producer – Cinema & Screen, Midlands Art Centre says:
“As shown by the success of our 2023 festival, the world of anime is no longer some niche genre. MAC is very pleased to be a part of Birmingham Anime Film Festival, with a focus on some of the more unique titles from across the history of anime.”
