An animation festival is returning to the city for the second year in a row.
Brighton International Animation Festival will take place at Latest Music Bar in Manchester Street on April 15 and 16.
The not-for-profit event celebrates animation and showcases the best in the next generation of filmmakers from the UK and internationally.
This year it will include an AR (augmented reality) exhibit and the One Bum Cinema Club will be making an appearance.
All films are subtitled with British Sign Language interpreters at all events, making it fully accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

The festival also offers animation workshops and talks from industry speakers including a masterclass from Barry Purves, a puppet animator whose work includes the stop motion Wind In The Willows.
There will also be a programme of queer animation, which organisers said has “not been seen at other festivals”.
Tickets can be bought for individual events for £6, or £5 for concessions.
A full two-day festival pass, which gives access to all events except the life drawing workshop, is £50, or £40 for concessions.
They can be bought online at brightoninternationalanimationfestival.com.
