Films from Bezalel Academy – guest animation school

Established in 1906 by artist Boris Schatz as the “Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts”, Bezalel has evolved into one of the world's most prestigious art schools.

The space within which the Screen-Based Arts Department at the Bezalel Academy operates includes the animation, movie-making and video programs and establishes a connection between movie-making and the world of art as an expressive tool.

The curriculum at the department guides the students toward the development of a sharp outlook and a personal vocabulary, in order to create animation, documentary films, personal and experimental films, video art and new media formulated by an artist who commands the tools and the medium, expands the boundaries of the language and produces statements and questions possessing social, political, critical, personal and cultural significance and relevance.

Bezalel prepared a selection of the latest remarkable works of their students specializing in animation. Curated by Tal Kantor, lecturer and also head of international relations.

The school is presented at Animest by Tami Berenstein, Head of Screen-Based Arts Department.
