Saturday 25.7. / 15:45-16:45, HUB 123
How can emerging technologies reshape animation workshops and open up new possibilities for filmmaking? Following Elfi De Vos’s practical workshop, this discussion invites teachers, educators and anyone working with animation in schools, cinemas or cultural institutions to continue the conversation.
Together, we will explore how digital tools are expanding the possibilities of animation in education – from AI and Blender to experiments with sound, image and game-based approaches. The session will offer space to share ideas and experiences on how to use these tools meaningfully, adapt them to different age groups, and ensure that technology supports creativity and personal expression rather than becoming the goal itself.
Recommended for: Teachers, educators, cultural professionals interested in film, media and audiovisual education.
Lecturer: Elfi de Vos (JEF/Youth Film Festival Antwerp, Belgium)
