An Animated Life: a trip through professional Italian animation

This event will be held in English language. Three stars from the world of professional animation will share their work and career in a celebration of the Italian contribution to this global field. Sarah Arduini, character animator at Industrial Light and Magic in London will share her insights from inside the blockbuster studio system; Virgilio Villoresi, joining us from Milan, will share his experience making stop-motion animation for high-end clients, and Cesare Davolio, an illustrator and animator based in Rotterdam will shed light on the balance between designing for print, animating, and teaching. Each presentation will be followed by questions, with a reception afterwards. This event is organized by the Italian Professionals Netherlands group and presented by the Italian Cultural Institute.
