We are very interested in the final outcome as well as in the methodology and approach that artists of different sensibilities will use in the realization of animated films based on the given idea. The collision of different cultures, speaking areas, ages, different levels of knowledge in the field of animation as well as drawing and painting skills create a very special atmosphere at the workshops every year, says the Vranje school of animated film. The 14th International children’s animated film workshop in Vranje will gather more than 50 participants and guests from several countries. The main program of “Golden Snail 2022” will be an animation workshop with children, while schools, clubs and individuals will be presented in the accompanying program, a reception with the mayor, an excursion, press conferences and forums will be organized.

"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."
