Discussion of the Czech Animated Film: Problems and Hopes of Czech Animation
Today Anifilm is hosting a discussion of the Czech animated film for both professionals and the public. Producers, authors, critics, representatives of film schools and the Czech television will debate where the problems of the Czech animation lie and what brings hope. We will try to identify the means to revive the film branch where Czech authors traditionally excelled. Among others Petr Dvořák, the director of the Czech television, agreed to participate in the discussion.
Making of Kuky se vrací
The Czech artist and designer Jakub Dvorský will look into the unique way the film by Jan Svěrák called Kuky se vrací was made. Originally the film was supposed to be made in a few days with a help of a few friends, but it turned into a two year long project using elaborate visual effects. Jakub Dvorský’s presentation, which starts at 15:00 in the Zlatá hvězda hotel, will be accompanied by illustrative shots from the film itself. Unfortunately Jan Svěrák cannot participate due to his prolonged stay abroad.
Closing Ceremony
During the closing ceremony in the Světozor cinema, the authors of the competing films will be presented with the festival award, the animated world in a bottle. But you do not need to worry, Anifilm continues with screenings tomorrow as well.
Screening on the Svět Pond
Beginning at 21:00 all awarded short animated films will be screened on the surface of the Svět Pond.
