SLOVAK ANIMATION LANDSCAPE OVERVIEW
Maroš Brojo, Direktor Animationsfilmfestival Fest Anča, Zilina
In the last few years Slovak animation has slowly been rising. We have a steady stream of short films, several TV series in production and producers are also working on feature film co-productions. While we still can’t talk about animation as an industry in Slovakia, we are slowly approaching a level of professionalization where we will one day be able to, with enough financial support and qualified animators, consider ourselves one. But there are also still some drawbacks that animation has to overcome. A more systematic support and restructuring of professional education are still needed.

AUSTRIAN-SLOVAK CO-PRODUCTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF AN ANIMATION ARTIST
Eni Brandner, Animationsfilmkünstlerin
What are the possibilites, requirements and advantages of Coproduction? I will talk about my experience using my most recent film as a practical example.
The stop-motion animation „Pantopos“ was shot with a Motion Control system that was provided by Studio 727 in Bratislava. Zuzana Mistrikova (from PubRes Bratislava) acted as producer, and Martin Repka as executive producer. Working with a professional team that involved talent from both countries provided me with additional creative possibilities and technology that allowed me to realize a film that would have been impossible to make otherwise.
