With the Stoptrik International animated film festival in Maribor we coorganized a 3-phases workshop of concept-based animation filmmaking where practical execution of the chosen short animated projecta concludes the process of learning critical approaches to media and understanding film as a complex mode of artistic communication.
Participating students of UNG School of Arts at the workshop and festival: Domen Sajovic, Karin Likar, Melita Sandrin, Vanda Ljumović, Seda Alyamaç, Tamara Taskova, Anja Resman
Students took part in animation workshops, where they collaborated with classmates and other students on various projects. The film “Last Laugh” of our student Domen Sajovic was shown in the Panorama programme and he also took part in the “trickshow disscucssion” where he talked about the process of creating his film.
The Participants learned stop motion animation filmmaking from HUGO COVARRUBIAS, an Oscar-nominated director of the film “Bestia” (Chile); scriptwriting from VASSILIS KROUSTALLIS, writer, film critic, and academic (Greece / Estonia); while the skills of critical literacy have been introduced by URŠKA BREZNIK and KAJA FIEDLER (Slovenia).
