Animation Alliance UK is a broad, informal association of independent animation professionals – animators, artists, programmers, producers, researchers, critics, academics, studios, festivals – across a wide range of creative and professional practice and engagement.

Many of our more than 330 members, inevitably, work in both cultural and commercial contexts, and we work closely with our sector colleagues at Animation UK. However, AAUK’s focus is on independent practice and cultural film.

AAUK exists:

– to champion the work of the independent animation sector in the UK
– to act as a network and focus for sharing information and discussion
– to advocate for the support of independent animation in the UK and for investment in production, training and archive

If you are part of the UK independent animation sector, please join the Alliance. Only your name will be published on the website. We will send you emails from time to time but we will not pass your contact details on to any third parties. You can leave at any time.
