The 14.
International animated film workshop this year was organized from
June 17th to 24th.
In the workshop projects participated 19 young students from Vukovar,
Zagreb, Senj, Koprivnica, Cakovec, Holzgerlingen (Germany) and Bratislava
(Slovakia).
Under the guidance of experienced animators Elena
Kasavina from Ukraine and Maya Yonesho from Japan, young participants realized
two animated films in total duration of 10 minutes.
The group who worked with Elena realized film IN BEGINNING
IT WAS WORD, which was made in several different animated techniques
(paintings on glass, animated objects, cut-out, drawing animation
and pixilation), while Maya presented and explained to children
her way of making animation, which is combination of drawings on
paper and photography - the result is interesting film named HRVATSKA
GIBANICA (gibanica
= traditional croatian cake).
Both films were shown at the last day of the workshop, together with
SAF annual production and films made by workshop leaders.
Like every year, all guests spent one afternoon at picnic on river
Mura, and enjoyed in swimming in famous spa Sv. Martin.
