Let’s meet at ANIMEX UK on November 19 for an inside look at The Yard and recent films and series projects.

The Yard VFX is heading to Middlesbrough this month for Animex 2026, the Tees Valley’s premier International Festival of Animation, VFX, Concept Art, and Games. Hosted annually by Teesside University for over 27 years, the festival brings together a global community of creatives, industry professionals, and enthusiasts from November 16 to 21, 2026.

As part of the festival’s specialized tracks, Animex AVFX dives deep into the creative and technical forces shaping modern screen-based storytelling. Designed for anyone looking to refine their craft or connect with industry innovators, the track features directors, animators, VFX supervisors, and studio leads sharing behind-the-scenes processes from the most ambitious projects in film, television, and streaming.

The Yard VFX at ANIMEX 2026

We are thrilled to participate in this year’s Animex AVFX lineup.

On Thursday, November 19, attendees can join Ben Owen, Head of our London Studio, for a dedicated session exploring life and work at our independent studio.

Ben will pull back the curtain on how our international teams collaborate across Paris, Montpellier, and London, sharing exclusive insights into our recent high-profile deliveries including Predator: Badlands, Stranger Things 5, and Whalefall, which hit theaters just a few weeks ago. It is a prime opportunity to discover what sets The Yard apart and get a glimpse of what is next on our slate.

Whether you are attending the talks or looking to connect with our team in the UK, we look forward to seeing you in Middlesbrough!
