Gunnur Martinsdóttir Schlüter led a session focused on micro short live-action films under 5 minutes, based on her Cannes-awarded work. The second masterclass featured Elzbieta Benkowska, also a lecturer at the Gdańsk Film School, who discussed dramaturgy and structure in short narrative films featuring two main characters.
The festival plans to continue offering similar masterclasses in future editions.During our second year, we organized several engaging industry events: a masterclass on in-depth analysis of the film The Godfather, a masterclass focused on filming in war zones, and the Anirama Pitching Forum, which brought together all film schools in the Czech Republic, including FAMU, UMPRUM, Tomas Bata University in Zlín, the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art, and the University of Creative Communication.
