EKA Anima

Citius, Altius, Fortius

EKA Animation department was invited by Animest Bucharest International Animation Festival to be a guest school as part of the AFN Edu program. AFN Edu is aimed at reaching and developing young filmmakers by introducing them to the world of animation industry and introducing various animation schools to each other. Our project coordinator Lyza Jarvis went to Animest with 10 students from MA and BA to represent the school. The program was hosted at UNTC and we got a tour of .unatc

Other than the AFN Edu program many other things happened!

Lyza gave a masterclass on how EKA animation is navigating the rise in popularity of experimental and non-narrative works from students.
Students participated in screenings and Q&As of the legendary Brothers Quay!
Students went to witness PITCHplease, where our friends from previous Fest Anca Student Forum visits and pitched their projects. (And won awards! Congratulations!!!) and attended the Meet the Authors where previous Erasmus+ exchange student talked about her film Stone of Destiny 🐎

Overall action packed and full of new insights! Thank you Animest!

The trip was funded by Erasmus+
