For this year's edition of the festival, we decided that rather than one European animation school the additional student programme would be dedicated to the three schools to submit the best works for the European Student Competition Programme. In our view, the schools to produce the best films of the academic year 2015/16 were MOME Budapest, CSC Turin, and Lodz Film School. As part of our newly established AnimatekaPRO industry platform, representatives of the three schools with talk about their methods and philosophies of teaching animation.
