Every year, the ITFS transforms the city into a vibrant stage for stories, creativity, and encounters. It is one of the largest and most important festivals for artistic animated film in Europe and worldwide and it is an Oscar-qualifying film festival. Once again, the DAZ is offering a school program as part of the ITFS: Through us, you have the opportunity to participate in a festival workshop with your class for free.
Animators Andy and Carolyn London will provide insights into their creative processes using clips from their films, with a special focus on one of the essential elements of cinematic storytelling: sound and music. Music is one of the most powerful storytelling tools in film and animation. The right song can instantly summon a memory, transport an audience to a specific time and place, and set a mood in moments. In this workshop, we’ll break down how we’ve used music and sound to shape emotion, sharpen story, and elevate our own films. Participants will also learn how music and sound design can be used in all kinds of creative projects.
With: Andy and Carolyn London, Animators
