Pink cat running in white wall at the Bang awards

The BANG Awards is an animated film festival that takes place in my hometown, Torres Vedras, Portugal. During the festival there are several big screens scattered in the green park of Choupal, among coloured lights and coloured trees. People come and sit in the lawn watching the movies in the evening during one weekend in summertime. Movies and productions come from everywhere in the world and in 2022 I found one movie produced in partnership with Teesside University. Movies compete for several categories, including best movie, best online movie, best original soundtrack, best screenplay, or best university movie. The festival curates movies for all ages and therefore the event is a great night out for families. It is colourful, lively and family friendly.
