GoCritic! to organize video journalism workshop at Animest.19

GoCritic! is a training program for emerging film journalists and critics. Its second round of partnership with the Animation Festival Network (AFN) comes with a new opportunity: a video journalism workshop hosted during the 19th edition of the Animest International Animation Film Festival in October 2024.

“The vibrant form of video journalism is becoming increasingly prevalent in the media landscape and we want to explore and refine the line between journalism, film criticism and video essays from other audiovisual formats dealing with cinema topics. Our aim is to help talented people who are already exploring this mode of expression to transition to the professional realm and improve the skills of those who are already doing it in established outlets,” says Vladan Petković, GoCritic! Head of Studies.

Applications to the GoCritic! workshop at Animest.19 are open until September 20. The program will be conducted in English, in Bucharest, during October 8-13. There are four spots available. Participation in the workshop itself is free, but if selected you do have to arrange your own accommodation in Bucharest if necessary.

The workshop will be facilitated by Ana Stanić, Head of Video Department at Cineuropa, a filmmaker, video journalist, and documentarist with a strong focus on both creative content and technical execution. Her video journalism expertise spans over a decade and covers all major European film festivals.
