ANIDOX:LAB is a tailor-made professional training course – for documentary and animation creatives, directors, producers and professionals with an animated documentary project in development.
ANIDOX:LAB '24-'25
We offer 4 modules, combined with individual tailor-made online consultations, to give talented documentary and animation filmmakers the opportunity to engage and combine their two worlds.
The coaching seminars and collaborative workshops culminate in an industry-focused pitch.
The course is designed to progress from fine-tuning an initial idea, through narrative development, to a pitch kit and a trailer, while also addressing the booming emergence of non-linear XR visual storytelling.
Designed to support animated documentary projects in development, we focus our attention on intermediary and senior professionals seeking a new medium or fresh approach in their practice:
- Animation directors
- Documentary film directors
- Game creators
- Emerging media artists
- Creative producers
