International Animation Day

— 18. February 2021. Comments Off on International Animation Day 32

On the occasion of marking the 18th International Day of Animation, the School of Animated Film – SAF from Vranje was a guest lecturer at the Faculty of Design and Multimedia FON in Skopje. About a hundred students attended a lecture on the history of animation, the history and work of SAF, as well as the presentation of films produced by SAF. They were also introduced to SAF’s “Golden Snail” event. They are very interested in participating in the upcoming “snail”, ie the 13th International Children’s Animated Film Workshop, which will be held at the beginning of August next year.

The presentation and lecture were held in the morning, and in the afternoon, the team from SAF with 25 students did one short animated exercise combining two techniques in animation: collage technique and sand animation.

We have achieved a wonderful cooperation with the dean of the faculty, Marija Veteroska, and professors Igor Šokarovski and Miloš Milosavljević, so we already have many ideas and agreements for future cooperation

"Čist, beli format papira uvek iznova doživim kao aždaju koja preti da me proguta. Aždaja (beli papir) blješti pravo u mene, a ja pokušavam da rešim dilemu kako opisati sve ono što u proteklih 27 godina čini imidž ŠAF-a, a prosto ređanje činjenica ne bi imalo smisla. Hm... mislim... ovaj, šta reći, svoju veštinu i pismenost stavljam na probu pred strašan sud čitalaca. Ništa teže! Neko skoro reče: “ŠAF je vranjski brend” i ta rečenica zapravo u najkraćem oslikava celokupnost postojanja ŠAF-a. No kao što znamo do brendova se ne dolazi lako i preko noći. Prolazili smo trnovit put nerazumevanja okoline, hronični nedostatak para, neprestano učenje i usavršavanje...Ali sve to zaboravim kada vidim plodove dugog, napornog i lepog rada sa decom i njihovu radost na projekciji svakog novog filma. Brend ŠAF-a zapravo ne čine prostorije u kojima radimo, skromna tehnika kojom raspolažemo, festivali na kojima smo učestvovali i osvajali vredne nagrade, niti radionice i manifestacije koje smo organizovali. Brend ŠAF čine deca i negdašnja deca (Snežana, Mika Nela, Marija, Seta...) ŠAF se posle toliko godina u praksi pokazala kao jedan od mogućih modela za uspešan rad dečijih sekcija, i trnovitim a nadasve lepim putem dečije animacije kreće sve više dece sledeći primer ŠAF-a Vranje."
