12th StopTrik IFF welcomes you to join a 3-phases workshop of concept-based animation filmmaking where practical execution of your short animated project concludes the process of learning critical approaches to media and understanding film as a complex mode of artistic communication.
WORKSHOT 2.0: DOPPELGÄNGER comprises of 3 stages of activity:
(1) critical literacy workshop with Urška Breznik and Kaja Fiedler (head activists of the Pekarna magdalenske mreže NGO, Maribor, Slovenia),
(2) script writing workshop with Vassilis Kroustallis (film writer, journalist, scholar, and founder of Zippy Frames, Greece/ Estonia),
(3) animation filmmaking module with Hugo Covarrubias (Chile).
WHAT IS ‘DOPPELGÄNGER’?
The 12th edition of StopTrik IFF thematically focuses on animated manifestations of the doppelgänger figure (a double or spiritual dark twin) as a key unlocking specific perspectives on understanding individual psyche as well as social, political, and cultural mechanisms. In cultural, literature, and film studies the doppelgänger is frequently referred to as a ‘monster in the mirror’ figure, a magnetizing but dark identity of the self that carries allure, promises a fulfilling liberation, and if not timely tamed, a force that pushes one for an inevitable self-destruction. Searching for doppelgänger is to examine the ambivalent structures of relationships between the dominant and the oppressed, the political and the individual, the exposed and the hidden. Such motifs of an archetypal reverberance continuously absorb and mirror the drifts and updates of currently occurring changes. This generates new cultural and ethical understanding of acts such as questioning, reinventing, and negotiating one’s identity in the ongoing processes of technological and scientific advancements, geopolitical and cultural shifts resulting from globalization and neocolonialism. But this theme also strongly affirms the very specificity of animation itself. Considering how the visual environment is created, animation is the most elusive and fluid film form, it inherently generates ambiguous meanings. Operating with deception and illusion, animation empowers its audiences to engage with the artwork in a highly introspective and sincere way.
