Lectures, Presentations, Workshops...

Anifilm lets you not only watch films, but also offers you unique behind-the-scenes looks, lectures on the history of film and popular animation workshops. Don’t forget to pick up our Industry Guide, which will guide you through our professional programme in Třeboň. You can visit for example Michaela Mertová’s lecture Interwar Migrants in Czechoslovak Animated Film, specialized presentations by the Czech Television, 3D Animation Workshop and our traditional presentations of films in development called Works in Progress – this time from various European countries and in cooperation with VAF. The festival will also offer a unique opportunity to take a sneak peek behind the scenes of tricks and effects of American films (including the last film of Marvel’s Avengers series) with Jakub Pistecký from the famous studio Industrial Light & Magic. The boundaries of animation, which is leaving cinemas and finding new homes in smartphones and the internet, will be explored with Jan Pinkava. His lecture will include live interactive examples of older as well as newer additions of the Google Spotlight Stories project. And our Game Day will reveal some of the secrets from the world of computer games.
