animation@DOK Leipzig – Conversations on a Film Genre

DOK Leipzig 2022 is also a full load of animation: 84 long and short films, several programme sections and a masterclass will explore the rich facets of this film genre in detail.

Slovenian Animation. The Conquest of Poetic Space

Ever since the turn of the millennium, Slovenian animation film art has seen an enormous boom. Funding programmes enable and encourage a new generation of animation filmmakers to realise their poetic, original visions – and leave their distinctive marks on filmdom. We follow them, animated and inspired.

Animation Perspectives: Veneta Androva_Tang Han

Veneta Androva and Tang Han are invited to engage in a cinematic and personal dialogue. Animation and documentary, nature and culture, the virtual and the real rub against each other in their works. Two radically different artistic styles, and yet they have something in common: precision in watching, consistency in thinking and a delight in playing with ironic distance.

Masterclass Špela Čadež

Špela Čadež, world-renowned animation filmmaker, has been contributing to the vitality and international recogni- tion of Slovenian animation as an artist and producer for years. In this Masterclass, she gives insights into her distinctive style of eavesdropping on reality to lift stories and characters from it and create animated poetic spaces for them.
