  The Bristol 48h Puppet Film Challenge was originally created in 2020 by the House of Funny Noises. Its aim was to give people a creative outlet during the COVID 19 lockdowns. The Film Challenge is now a Puppet Place production and is heading into its fifth year!

  "We want to spread the joy of puppetry and stop-motion animation far and wide, encouraging professionals and new-comers alike to take on the challenge."

  Puppet Place was originally based at Hope Centre and run by Kate Pollard. It is now based on Spike Island and supports a community of over 40 artists working in puppetry and animation.
