Talks & Panels
Encounters and DSHED, Watershed's online platform, have documented Encounters for the past decade. Here you can watch a selection of talks and panels that have taken place at previous editions.
INSIDE ENCOUNTERS
Encounters, in partnership with 'Relays at Watershed' and IdeasTap,
invited nine talented young journalists to cover the festival as part of a New Film Journalism Workshop. Their video blogs are available on the Encounters Vimeo channel, including interviews with acclaimed documentary filmmaker Kim Longinotto (Rough Aunties, Divorce Iranian Style), animator Darren Walsh (Angry Kid, the BOB series), animator/director Sam Fell (ParaNorman) and BAFTA nominated cinematographer Lol Crawley (Four Lions, Better Things).

AniJam
Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival teamed up with Show Me The Animation to hold the AniJam Challenge, a 48hr creative animation mission.
48hrs to create an animation from start to finish? Sound Crazy? Over the Encounters Festival weekend a total of five teams worked long and hard to create short animated films around the theme of JAM.
