Třeboň will be once again hosting the international animation event of Visegrad Animation Forum that gains more and more recognition not only in the Czech Republic but in other countries as well. Apart from the accompanying programme presenting news from the animation world of the Visegrad countries and introductions of professional European studios, the programme will be divided into three sections. The first section – pitching forum for short films – is intended primarily for young authors. They should learn not only to present their projects but also to promote their work and themselves as authors. The second section focuses on presentations of television series. It is intended for professionals and aims to confront planned children programmes with the concepts of the managers of TV channels in Visegrad Four. The third section introduced this year focuses on the education in the process of television programme development. Case studies will be used to illustrate the real process of the actual project development. The common idea behind all VAF events is networking – strengthening the cooperation between European producers with respect to states sharing similar production conditions. This year’s Visegrad Animation Forum will take place during the 5th International Festival of Animated Films Anifilm from 6th to 8th May.
