Masterclasses

Masterclass on screenwriting for animation with Michael Arndt. This American screenwriter, who won an Oscar for Little Miss Sushine, also worked on Star Wars and The Hunger Games. He was involved in the writing process of such classics as Wall-E, Inside Out and The Incredibles 2. The script of Toy Story 3 also earned him nominations at the BAFTA and Oscar awards.

This masterclass will take an in-depth look at Act One, which sets up everything for your story. It’s where all the pieces of your story are introduced: you present the hero/heroine, their shortcomings or trauma, their wants and needs, and the new world to which they aspire.

Michael Arndt’s vision of how a script works is unique and highly instructive. He has been sharing his knowledge online for years. We are privileged to have him as a guest at this year’s Festival – in person!

In collaboration with the Scenaristengilde, l’Association des Scénaristes de l’Audiovisuel (ASA), SACD, ABRACA & the Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds (VAF).

Composer and artist Pablo Pico is the man behind the music for numerous animated shorts and features, including Sirocco et le royaume des courants d’air, Maman pleut des cordes, L’Extraordinaire Voyage de Marona, Adama and the Chien pourri series. He has received many awards for his work and this has enabled him to collaborate with musicians such as Oxmo Puccino, Isabel Sörling and Arthur H. Anima is privileged to be hosting an exceptional masterclass with the artist, in which he will share his expertise and talent and reveal all the secrets of composing music for animated films.

In collaboration with the Embassy of France in Belgium and the Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds (VAF).
