Invest in New Talent - Support Encounters Festival
Every year the success of the festival depends upon the efforts and involvement of our Sponsors, and we are forever thankful for this generous support, without which the festival would not be possible.
Now more than ever the festival needs your support, so please join our global community, to champion the development of new talent and advocate the importance of short film as a means to progress the next generation of filmmakers and animators.
