On the occasion of the 18th edition of the Biennial of Animation Bratislava, we are launching the first edition of the Rudolf Urc Workshop, named after a prominent figure of Slovak cinematography. Rudolf Urc played a key role in the development of animated film in Slovakia, was instrumental in founding the Biennial of Animation Bratislava (BAB), and mentored generations of young creators.

The Rudolf Urc Workshop is a creative animation programme designed for lower secondary school students, aimed at developing their creativity, collaboration skills, and helping them discover their own potential in the world of animated film.

Participants will work in small groups (maximum of 8 children per group) and, under the guidance of professional animators, will go through the entire process of creating an animated film — from the initial idea to the final production. One workshop cycle consists of two sessions and takes place on selected dates in May, June, or September. Each session runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, during which participants will work closely with an animator on their film.

The outcome will be a short animated film, evaluated by an international professional jury and subsequently presented as part of the accompanying programme of the Biennial of Animation Bratislava 2026.

(For children aged 11–15)
