Animation students selected for NAHEMI film screening

Students from BA (Hons) Animation have been selected for NAHEMI’s Eat Our Shorts, an annual screening of student films, showcasing the best emerging talent of the year.

Eat Our Shorts is a unique showcase, reflecting the types of films being produced in film schools and universities across the UK, bringing student work to members of the industry. The films will be screen at BFI Southbank Cinema, London on 5 December 2025.

NAHEMI member universities were invited to submit a showreel or selection of films from animation, non-fiction, experimental, and drama genres. The selected animations will be shown across three screenings where members of the audience are invited to vote for the best films, and an overall winner will be chosen by a panel of film experts.
