Filmmakers Workshop

Since 2016 Filmmaker’s Workshop is a returning experimental activity during VAF bringing together a handful of young international filmmakers with Bachelor degree students of The Animation Workshop/VIA University College to engage in a creative animation jam.

During the intense 4-day workshop filmmakers produce a short collaborative film based on a select theme/prompt, but first and foremost the workshop is about the creative process and being inspired by each other.

Filmmaker, multimedia artist and teacher Uri Kranot leads the workshop and is assisted by animation director Henrik Malmgren. The workshop will be running from Monday, September 25 to Thursday, September 28, 2023.
