Animated Film Studio
Diploma Studio
The Animated Film Studio encourages original artistic expression through the medium of animated film. Animation is understood here as an artistic form in which the animation process itself becomes the key stage in integrating various means of expression.
At the Animated Film Studio, we are interested in film as a communicative narrative form capable of evoking emotions and reflection through the choice of relevant themes, clear storytelling, and a distinctive visual language.
The Studio’s program and facilities support manual stop-motion techniques, treating them as a source of individual visual style.
An additional but equally important aim of the Studio is to promote artistic creation as a means of improving the intellectual and emotional quality of life.
