We did many things in the winter semester 2019/2020. The freshmen were getting to know what is animated film, photography and how a simple film set is run, while more experienced students dived into animating with director Michael Frei, touched object photography and met many interesting authors and artists alongside of the Pixxelpoint festival and the MAST Symposium. But foremost – we moved! The visitors thus joined usat the inaugaural Semester Show in our NEW HOME, at Vipavska 13 in Rožna dolina, Nova Gorica.
Semester show will be at 19 December from 6-9pm.
