AFRICAN ANIMATION WORKSHOP
Apply by May 23
Animators, Artists, Cartoonists and
Scriptwriters are invited to apply for
participation in the 5 week Africa Animated
2.0 Training and Production
Workshop in Durban between June 18 and July
22, 2005.
This UNESCO project is
an innovative component of the Durban
International Film Festival and is
facilitated by the Centre for Creative Arts
(University of KwaZulu-Natal).
The intensive workshop will engage fifteen
selected students from countries
in East and Southern Africa in the entire
animation process, from script to
final movie. The intention is to develop an
original African approach to
animation that forms the basis for an
animation industry on the continent.
Ultimately the initiative envisages the
establishment of a regional centre
for animation production and training,
addressing Millenium Development
Goals and targeting children as the primary
audience.
The workshop will be conducted by trainers
from Canada and the animation
faculty of Bournemouth University (United
Kingdom) in collaboration with
Southern African animators.
For details about the project and
application procedures interested parties
can visit
www.cca.ukzn.ac.za or email
Mariana.cifuentes@unesco.unon.org or
phone 031-2602506 for entry details.
Experienced animation scriptwriters
In addition this workshop represents an
opportunity for the involvement of
experienced animation scriptwriters who are
interested in leading a
week-long workshop within the Africa
Animated project.
Successful applicants
will be remunerated accordingly. Animation
scriptwriters are invited to send
CV's to: Mariana Cifuentes, Co-ordinator for
Africa Animated! at the above
email address.
The Durban International Film Festival runs
from 15 to 26 June and its
animation focus also incorporates the
screening of leading animation films
(including 2005 Oscar winner RYAN) and the
inaugural Interface Animation
Festival which presents selected work by
local and international animators.
