PLANKTOON A is a hands-on stop-motion animation workshop designed for children who are curious about art, storytelling, and filmmaking. With the guidance of experienced mentors, participants will create characters and props from a variety of materials and then animate them frame by frame using digital cameras.

Exploring different stop-motion techniques—including object animation, cut-out animation, and pixilation—children will discover how movement is created in animation and learn how to bring everyday objects to life on screen. Throughout the workshop, participants will work together to create a short animated film of their own.

In addition, several workshop participants will have the opportunity to become members of the children’s jury and help select the winners in Supertoon’s official competition of animated films for children.

The workshop will take place over four consecutive mornings, from Tuesday, July 21, to Friday, July 24, 2026, and is open to children aged 10–14.

🐟Applications should be sent to [email protected] no later than 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.

Program 𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐈 Š𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐊 održat će se od 5. do 7. lipnja te će ponuditi projekcije kratkih animiranih filmova, izložbu i radionicu stripa.

U petak, 5.6.2026. s početkom u 20 sati u Kući umjetnosti Arsen, publici ćemo predstaviti izbor makedonskih krakometražnih animiranih filmova odabranih od selektora Krste Gospodinovskog, renomiranog stručnjaka za animirani film i organizatorom Flopbook film festivala iz Skopja.

Radi se o presjeku recentne Makedonske animirane produkcije, a na velikom platnu bit će prikazani naslovi koji su osvojili publiku i žirije na brojnim međunarodnim festivalima:

Silent Cinema - Krste Gospodinovski - 16:27
Round trip Mary – Žarko Ivanov - 9:46
The falling Girl - Vladimir Lukaš - 10:28
Form B16 - Ivan Ivanovski - 8:05
Gottlieb - Krste Gospodinovski - 9:59

Prije same projekcije, posjetitelji će imati priliku razgovarati s autorom Krstom Gospodinovskim koji će osim osvrta na prikazane filmove, govoriti i o iskustvima s Flibook film festivala, čiji je i pokretač i organizatori s ciljem kako stvoriti platformu za susrete između filmaša, predstavnika industrije i lokalnih ljubitelja animacije tako i proširivati koncept filmskog prikazivanja i okupljanje filma i drugih oblika kreativnosti.

Krste Gospodinovski je makedonski redatelj, animator i vizualni umjetnik iz Skoplja. Studirao je slikarstvo na Nacionalnoj umjetničkoj akademiji u Sofiji, gdje je završio i magisterij, a kasnije se posvetio animaciji i kulturnim studijima.

Radio je i kao animator, autor vizualnih efekata i direktor animacije na više regionalnih filmskih projekata.

U subotu, 6.6.2026. s početkom u 20 sati u Studiju Galerije Krševan predstaviti ćemo publici vizuale i rekvizite iz gore navedenih filmova te kroz razgovor s autorom i producentom Žarkom Ivanovim, organizatorom Flipbook film festivala, dotaknuti se specifičnosti izrade i razlika lutka-filma i klasičnog 2D animiranog filma.

Žarko Ivanov je makedonski redatelj, animator i producent iz Skoplja. Diplomirao je talijanski i r***i jezik i književnost na Filološkom fakultetu u Skoplju, a potom završio magisterij iz kulturnih studija te magisterij iz režije animiranog filma na Sveučilištu audiovizualnih umjetnosti u Skoplju. Jedan je od osnivača produkcijske kuće Flip Book Production, kroz koju je producirao više od dvadeset kratkih animiranih, dokumentarnih i igranih filmova.

Večeri su otvorene za sve ljubitelje animacije i filma, a posjetitelji mogu očekivati vrhunski filmski doživljaj te inspirativan razgovor s jednim od vodećih stručnjaka na europskoj animatorskoj sceni.

Vikend je rezerviran za radionicu stripa za djecu u prostorijama Hrvatskog novinarskog društva.

PASICA – radionica stripa za djecu
subota 6.6. / 12:00 - 14:00 sati
nedjelja 7.6. / 12:00 - 14:00 sati

Voditelj Ivan Marušić, akademski slikar i renomirani strip autor, održat će dvodnevnu kreativnu radionicu stripa za djecu (od 9 do 15 godina). Na ovoj radionici govorit ćemo o osnovnim elementima stripa, dizajnu likova, kompoziciji prizora (sličice), pasice (niza sličica) i table (stranice) i likovnim elementima karakterističnim za strip, kao što su oblačići s tekstom, zvučni efekti, linije koje sugeriraju pokret, simboli prikazivanja emocija i slično. Osvrnuti ćemo se na američku, europsku i japansku školu stripa i njihove osobitosti te različite stilizacije u stripu: realistične, karikaturalne, simboličke, apstraktne.

U praktičnom dijelu radionice polaznici će pokušati kreirati vlastitog lika te ispričati zaokruženu stripovsku priču na jednoj stranici. Stvaranje i zabava odvijaju se u maloj grupi, do 10 polaznika.
Pohađanje radionice se ne plaća.

We always bring our A-game for this one…

Šibenik has one of the most experienced (and toughest 😉) young film audiences in Croatia — so we make sure to screen only the most fun and thought-provoking films at the Gorica steps.

Films you can’t see ANYWHERE ELSE…
The kind of program that fills the steps with kids again…

See you there!
