4 The Slovak Asociation of Animated Film Producers (APAF), the Film and Television Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (FTF VŠMU) and Fest Anča International Animation Festival join forces once again this year, by organizing activities with the aim to boost conditions for professional animation in Slovakia, in line with the general objectives of VAF (visegradanimation.com). After last year s great feedback to the Masterclass entitled PRODUCTION PIPELINE, which concentrated on animated series and feature films, we have decided to shift our focus to the importance of the development process in auteur film. This year s Masterclass will be dedicated to script writing and script editing of animated projects of students, as well as established artists and producers. The main idea is to offer auteurs the tools and skills they need for the development of their animated films. This masterclass is part of a year-long programme for FTF VŠMU students. There is a constant shortage of animated film script writers in Slovakia and in Central Europe in general. And that s exactly why this programme aims to bring students of scriptwriting and students of animation together the teams w i l l wo r k o n s t u d e n t p r o j e c t s, s i m u l a t i n g t h e d eve l o p m e n t p r o c ess s t u d e n t s w i l l e n c o u n t e r i n t h e f u t u re on professional films. We are delighted that the Masterclass will be led by the renowned animated content expert Barbara Slade from the UK. Barbara is an experienced animated film script writer and producer, and has chaired numerous professional pitching events such as Cartoon Forum and Cartoon Movie. She will share her knowledge with students in her plenary talks, and through individual feedback on project pitchings. We are confident that her practical insights will inspire students, as well as increase the quality of their films. We also hope that this collaborative experience will assist students of animated film in preparing for their professional careers, and encourage future cooperation with script writers. The masterclass will continue in June 2018 at the Fest Anča International Animation Festival in Žilina. One part of the masterclass will be open to a wider audience of film professionals, as we believe that meeting an expert like Barbara Slade will inspire not only students of animated film, but professional filmmakers from Slovakia and abroad as well.
