Encounters founder David Sproxton said: “We were astounded by the talent showcased in the submissions for the festival in 2015 and the number of successful nominations through to the shortlist for the Oscars and BAFTAs goes to show how Encounters is a gateway to international success.

“With Rich and Alice at the helm the festival promises to be a dynamic forum for debate, education and networking.”
