Animated documentaries are a new and vigorous trend, but it is still not obvious or easy for the documentary and animation worlds to meet, as they are so different on all levels, from development practices through production techniques and requirements, to sales and distribution.With AniDox:Lab, we bring these 2 worlds together, on a small scale at first, of course, through our participants and the projects they bring to the lab. We expect that most of our participants will be successful in financing and distributing their projects, and that this will have a snowball effect and encourage the more widespread combination of animation and documentary in our European film industry.AniDox:Lab is, simply put, the only European training course focusing on the animation documentary genre and on the development of animated documentary projects. The venues where we have been invited to present AniDox:Lab and where our participants have the chance to present or pitch their projects cover several different countries and attract professionals and buyers from all over Europe and the world.
