26.–28. November 2022

The Animation Festival Network educational programme, AFN Edu, proudly presents its first activity for young professionals and students. It will take place during the 19th Animateka International Animated Film Festival in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The intense three-day workshop will be led by Iva Kraljević, an experienced editor who has collaborated on a number of awarded animated films, such as Nighthawk and Steakhouse by Špela Čadež (Finta, Slovenia) and Hedgehog’s Home by Eva Cvijanović (NFB, Canada). The workshop will consist of masterclass presentation by the tutor and exercises in editing, using animatics by one or more workshop participants. The participants will be editing the animatic and discussing the dramaturgy of the (chosen) film from the group.

Focusing on animation students, AFN Edu is a programme of activities that aims to facilitate mobility and international collaboration and networking for emerging European authors. It is organized by the Animation Festival Network, a network connecting five leading animation festivals from Central and Eastern Europe (the CEE region), all dedicated exclusively to auteur animated films for both young and adult audiences.
With the World Festival of Animated Film – Animafest Zagreb (Croatia) as the network coordinator, the network also includes Anifilm International Festival of Animated Films (Czech Republic), Fest Anča International Animation Festival (Slovakia), Animest International Animation Film Festival (Romania) and Animateka International Animated Film Festival (Slovenia).
Partners of the programme also include renowned animation schools, such as FAMU Prague (CZ), VŠMU Bratislava (SK), School of Arts Nova Gorica (SI), National University of Theater and Film – UNATC “I.L.Caragiale” in Bucharest (RO), Academy of Fine Arts Zagreb (HR).
