Within a special segment called Speech Programs, there will be several highlights:
a lecture on the subject of Film and Children will be held by Martina Peštaj, a media psychologist from Ljubljana; as well as a master class by Mexican animator Sofia Carrillo, who talks about the creation of her exceptional films Black Doll, Sad House and Cerulia; and finally the presentation “Serbian animation in the traps of ideology”, which was significantly contributed by the contributions of domestic authors, film critic Srdjan Radaković and animators Ana Nedeljkovic and Stevan Živkov.
