Talk

Now in its fifteenth year, Animex Talk will be packed with insights into the year's major releases and the lowdown on the projects that are grabbing the headlines.

Get Passes

Animators, artists, writers, directors and students will gather on Teesside to make Animex Talk a melting pot of talent and a place for like minded people to listen to yet another amazing array of speakers. Tickets often sell out long in advance of festival week, so book early to avoid disappointment. To see all of the presentations during Animex Talk you will need an Animex Festival Pass or an Animex Talk Pass. The names of our speakers will be released as soon as we receive final confirmations. Keep an eye on our news pages and Twitter feed for exciting updates as they happen.
