We emphasize moving image research and offer you several possible levels of research and creation:
• Theoretical approach. To delve into the junctions of living/non-living matter, to study the Animation phenomenon and processes unfolding there. Explore animation tools and time-based media technologies and create in motion picture format.
• Cinematic Art. To explore film culture, the changing forms of animation under the influence of new technologies.
• Relationship with Reality. To explore the relationship between animation and reality, the possibilities of documentary, the appeal of memory culture in film culture.
• Contemporary Art. Explore the culture of animation in contemporary art and create the animated moving image as an independent form of contemporary art language
The main objective of the programme is to develop the professional skills of the student-artist animator in this field. To develop artistic intuition in the choice of an effective visual narrative structure and the most effective technology for communicating ideas. To develop the ability to create effective artistic content through the correct choice of narrative, visual/style and technical strategies necessary for a successful animation project. To develop analytical skills to identify the interplay between the semantic perspectives of art and film, as well as the ability to appreciate the importance of the complexity, interdisciplinarity and cross-directional strategies of the animation artwork in the contemporary narrative genre.
