Visegrad Animation Forum

A new addition to this year’s festival in Třeboň is the three-day professional program Visegrad Animation Forum. VAF acts as a meeting ground for leading independent producers of animated films, representatives of television companies producing animated serials, and professional filmmakers from throughout Europe, who will attend presentations (pitching) of selected ideas for short films, as well as screenings of television serials from our region. The aim of VAF is to familiarize local professionals with leading figures of international animated production and production standards, thus contributing significantly to the expansion of co-productions. Among others, French producer Dora Benousilio will present the famous glass painting films of Florence Miailhe; producer Olivier de Bannes will present the first ever puppet film produced by Folioscope; German co-producer Christian Mueller will offer a presentation of his international film Father, created by filmmakers from Bulgaria and Croatia; and a special program looks at the Swiss studio Nadasdy Film.
