Puppet Animation Workshop

Puppet Animation Workshop is taking place between October 11 and October 14, at the Czech Center in Bucharest. For four days, 10 participants, ages 16 and older, with or without any experience in animation film, will get the chance to go through the steps of making a puppet animation short film, with the freedom to set their imagination free and choose their own theme. The workshop will be held by František Váša, a Czech filmmaker specialized in puppet animation, whose creations have been awarded at the most important international film festivals. One of his best known works, The Billiards, the 44th episode from the famous Pat&Mat series, was part of the 1995 Annecy competition and won two trophies at the World Animation Celebration in Agoura.

Those interested must send an email to workshop@animest.ro, with the subject „PAPUSI/PUPPETS” and a letter motivating their choice to participate in this workshop, as well as, optionally, a selection of their own work - animation films, stop-motion exercises or any other audio-visual material.
