Animascope 7 // Best of METU Animation

Animascope is here again with its 7th edition! The annually organized program series started in 2014, and after a short, enforced rest it’s back now for the animation-loving audience. Despite of the difficulties characteristic for the last period, precious animation works were created at METU, which will be finally available on big screens at the Urania National Film Theatre. Some of the movies are already doing their successful festival tour, while others will be presented as a premier screening in front of the large audience.

 

The creators are former METU Animation students graduated in 2020 or 2021, from bachelor or master programmes. The selection, as usual, is targeted at youth and adult audience, showing a wide range of animation genres and visual styles. The movies share thoughts, cogitations, emotions present in the everyday lives of the creators in the past two years. Also, beside the directors is very important to highlight the name of the crew members, who’s contribution to the creative process was indispensable.
