Discover my unique Animated Film Show – a captivating mix of award-winning animated short films, exclusive behind-the-scenes insights and entertaining stories from my life as an Oscar®-winning animation director.
I present my artistic short animations (1–11 minutes) live on stage, using photos and clips to show the making-of. For each film, I give a 3–10 minute explanation of the techniques—2D hand-drawn, stop-motion, pixilation, computer animation, and experimental ink-animation.
After the screenings, I encourage open dialogue, answer questions, and discuss visual language, themes, and creative backgrounds with the audience.
The Animated Film Show is an infotainment format for audiences aged 11 and up – ideal for schools, cultural events, festivals, workshops, and corporate functions.
Depending on the time frame, I show individual short films or thematic film blocks.
My films are non-verbal, rich in visual metaphors, and explore philosophical, social and environmental issues. They are aimed at people who enjoy artistic imagery and emotional storytelling.
The Show is highly adaptable to your needs.
Examples:
Depending on the occasion, the films can be combined with a making-of talk, a moderated interview, or a keynote presentation.
The show can be tailored to various themes, such as:
- My professional journey in animation
