Animation enables us to visualise anything from the most harrowing planetary destruction, to inspiring and optimistic future possibilities.

Yet when it comes to telling urgent stories around nature and climate, apart from some notable exceptions, this enormous potential is underused.

Animated for Impact is a roadshow event showcasing hard-hitting animated short films, curated to inspire audiences and spark meaningful dialogue around climate and nature-driven storytelling.

As part of our program, we have Studio Birthplace founders discussing storytelling for our planet through their impact-driven creative studio.

Our aim is to showcase some of the most compelling animated short films with an environmental message, and celebrate the trailblazing filmmakers behind them.

Together we will explore the potential of animated storytelling to re-connect us with nature, confront the climate crisis and inspire real-world action.
