Who’s Afraid of Animation?

This panel is in collaboration with "Animix". Today, more and more creators are breaking the barrier between "filmed" cinema and animation, including renowned figures like Wes Anderson and Richard Linklater, as well as Ari Folman here in Israel. In this event, we will explore a medium that can bring any fantasy to life, listening to various creators discuss how they use animation as a cinematic tool. We'll consider whether creative writing is done specifically for this medium or if it evolves along the way, and what new horizons the collaboration between animators and filmmakers can open.

Participants: Gur Bentvich ("Peaches and Cream," "Land of Limpopo"); Yael Ozsinay (Head of the Screen Arts Department at Bezalel); Yoni Goodman (Animation Director of "Waltz with Bashir" and "Where is Anne Frank"), Gidi Dar ("Legend of Destruction").
