At the end of this course, students will have a general knowledge of history and theory of animation with a special focus on Czech and East European independent auteur animation. They will be able to understand better the vast potential of the contemporary animation medium (with its historical predecessors) and to identify animation’s possible overlaps into many other creative areas these days.

Roční studium animace

Předpoklady a další požadavky

This course is suited for both animation practitioners (with personal experience in animation-making) and animation outsiders with a general interest in understanding the specificity and history of the animated medium.

Obsah kurzu

This course will focus on historical and theoretical aspects of animation. Based on the motto of one of the most significant animation theoretician and historian these days, Paul Wells: “There’s no theory without practice; no practice without theory; no progress without history,” students will be motivated in this class to not just absorb the knowledge passively but rather to come with their own interpretations, meanings and potential relevance of historical animation for the contemporary one, animation theory for practice (and vice-versa) and the medium of animation in general for our society today.

A special focus will be made on Czech (Czechoslovak) and East European independent auteur animation placed within the international context.
