Stop-motion animation short film summer camp

As part of the events of the Labrisz 25 - Lesbian Herstory in Hungary historical-art exhibition 2025, a stop-motion animation summer camp will be organised in Budaörs between 21-25 July 2025 by the Budaörs Animation Base and Creative Space (BABtér) and the Labrisz Lesbian Association, using the Labrisz archive, for which applications are invited by means of a call for applications.

 

During the five-day art workshop, under the guidance of BABtér's art instructors, using Labrisz archive materials -- text, (moving) images, sound, material relics -- and other objects, materials, tools, and based on the texts published in the call for applications and/or the personal story brought by the applicant, selected participants will create short animated films of a few minutes' duration. During and prior to the camp, various related activities and accompanying events will take place in the BABtér to inspire the creators and engage the interested ‘outside’ audience.

The selected participants will realise their projects using stop-motion techniques (paper cut-outs, photo cut-outs, collage, disk animation) with the help of animation tutors. No previous training in animation filmmaking is necessary, but it is important that applicants have an interest in the animation techniques mentioned above.
