“The event at the university is free, although you must book your place with us (please e-mail S.Moore[at]wlv.ac.uk to do so). We would like to encourage animation PhD students, supervisors and those considering undertaking post graduate research in animation to attend, so if you know anyone who would find this useful please do pass on the details.That day marks the start of the Flip animation festival and we’ve arranged the day so that you can go on to attend a special guest screening, Q&A and animation quiz in the evening if you’d like to stay on (there will be a separate cost for this at a reduced rate for our attendees). There will also be a dinner before the Flip festival kicks off, at a cost per head of approximately £19 each. Please let me know if you would like to book a seat for this. We hope to see you in Wolverhampton in November!”
