This year, the Ca' Foscari Short Film Festival is anticipated by a special day with which to immerse oneself in the world of animation and its applications in different media. The programme is dedicated to the greatest Italian scholar in the field, Giannalberto Bendazzi, who sadly passed away recently and was a member of the jury in the sixth edition of our Short.
The programme opens with a round table in which various animation studies researchers from the Animation group of the Consulta Universitaria del Cinema and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia take part: Cristina Formenti, Alessandra Richetto, Martina Vita Roberta Novielli, Paola Bristot and Igor Imhoff.
The Animation group of the Consulta Universitaria del Cinema, which is currently coordinated by Cristina Formenti and Christian Uva, was founded in 2023 with the aim of enhancing animation studies within the Italian scientific community and beyond.
The group regularly promotes scientific meetings aimed precisely at stimulating the development of a national academic debate around animation, which is now more important than ever given the relevance that this medium has been assuming in the media landscape since the advent of digital. The Animation Group's activities are also conceived under the banner of a necessary cultural and scientific interaction both with film scholars dealing with related issues (documentary, video art, educational cinema and so on) and with external disciplinary sectors interested in forms, techniques and languages related to animation (from comics to virtual reality, from videogames to VFX).
Following the round table, we present on the same day three appointments dedicated to the expressive variety of contemporary animation: a special homage to the Small Animation Festival, a review of animated shorts made at the Estonian Academy of Arts in Tallinn and a selection of animations presented at the. Tokyo Student Film Festival in their most recent editions.
The day ends with the presentation of a wide range of expressive possibilities offered by the most advanced immersive media by the authors of the new project ImmersiVenice at Ca' Foscari University.
Founded in 1914, the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) is the oldest and only public university of visual culture in Estonia. Students from around the world engage in studies and research to develop their analytical abilities and critical thinking, aspiring to become environmentally and socially conscious creators.
The EKA Animation Department was established in 2006. The main goal of the program is to educate creators of animated films by providing theoretical knowledge and practical skills. A further aim is to contribute to the global development of animation as an art form. We encourage our students to create their films through unique approaches, as we want them to flourish as well-rounded artists with their own philosophies, ideas, and creative processes.
This curated selection includes MA and BA student films produced in recent years within EKA’s Animation Department, covering various techniques and narrative approaches. The artistic diversity of the students as authors also mirrors the department’s curriculum.

Profile: Rebeka Kruus is an animation artist who weaves everyday situations into magical realism. She is intrigued by the contradictory human experience, acknowledging both quiet love and comedic tragedy. Her goal is to tell stories where characters may take the form of frogs and monkeys but still remain relatable to viewers.
Director: Milly Yencken
Year: 2023
Length: 9’27”
Synopsis: If rain fell indoors instead of outdoors, where would we begin to seek shelter? Considered a refuge from bad weather or danger, this place lies beyond the fence, where a bell rings out into emptiness. While each character seems to speak only to themselves (he to him, she to her, the ground to the ground, the trees to the tree), inside, the familiar and relentless rain continues to fall.
Profile: Born in 1993 in Australia, Milly Yencken studied Painting (BFA) in Tasmania and Classical Animation in Vancouver. She is currently completing her MA in Animation at the Eesti Kunstiakadeemia (Estonia).

Fueled by the conflicting nature of AI—both empowering and overpowering creativity itself—this journey explores what it means to animate in the age of generative technology.
Profile: Lithuanian animator, director, and audiovisual artist Aurelijus Čiupas continually experiments with new media technologies. His background includes VFX for animated films, interactive installations, and more recently, generative AI. While completing his MA in Animation at the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2024, he refined his skills as a filmmaker and combined them with unconventional digital animation techniques. His thesis took shape as an ongoing educational blog aimed at demystifying AI in the context of animation, offering both contemplative and critical insights.

Synopsis: The sky is vast, the wilderness endless. A solitary maple stands at the world’s corner, carrying thousands of seeds that become butterflies. They flirt and dance above water bubbles, and they fall in love.
Profile: Born in Shanghai in 2000, Sun is a craftswoman creating handmade films, ceramic works, sounds, and puppets. Currently studying at the Estonian Academy of Arts, she recently explored icon imagery, practicing “proRegress” in a concrete animated film. Her handmade films have been screened internationally (Animafest Zagreb, PÖFF Shorts, Animateka Film Festival, etc.). Previously, she won Best Experimental Film at the Paris International Animation Film Festival.
The Piccolo Festival dell’Animazione, now in its 18th edition, showcases the finest contemporary animated cinema and is the only festival in Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) dedicated to this art form. At the same time, it maintains strong connections with Central and Eastern Europe. Over the years, it has formed a network of collaborations with major European animation festivals, keeping in close contact with their artistic directors, as well as numerous established and emerging directors from top animation schools, universities, and professional training centers.
By connecting Italian productions within a wider network, the festival introduces new works to an audience that includes international industry professionals, who, in turn, share their expertise through discussions and debates. Particular attention is given to new technologies, though the historical perspective of animation is not forgotten. One such historical focus is the pinscreen technique, involving a pinboard screen invented by Alexander Alexeieff and patented with Claire Parker. In 2024, a special program dedicated to this technique—introduced by Professor Carlo Montanaro—was also screened in Venice at the Casa del Cinema.
The festival’s films are divided into several sections: Main Competition Program, featuring the most significant international works by leading directors; Visual&Music, dedicated to music-themed films where images and music are deeply intertwined; Green Animation, presenting environmentally-focused projects; Animayoung, highlighting the debut works of young directors from the best animation schools worldwide; and Animakids, geared toward a younger audience.
Among the festival’s activities, the Church of San Lorenzo (PFA – HUB) hosts materials related to the production of animated films—such as photographs, drawings, and storyboards—aiming to make the public aware of the complexity of production processes, which require advanced creative, manual, and technological skills. Workshops and school screenings are held during the festival, involving over 2,500 students from primary and secondary schools, as well as industry professionals.
Over the years, the PFA has welcomed guests like Michael Dudok De Wit, Chris Landreth, William Kentridge, Bruno Bozzetto, Manfredo Manfredi, Theodore Ushev, Georges Schwizgebel, Izabela Plucinska, Margherita Giusti, Alexandre Noyer, and Giannalberto Bendazzi.
The festival’s artistic director is Paola Bristot, professor of History and Languages of Contemporary Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. The scientific committee includes Roberto Paganelli, Carlo Montanaro, Andrijana Ružić, and Igor Prassel.
The Piccolo Festival dell’Animazione is part of the Italian Animation Festivals Coordination Network (AFIC), the Italian Animation Film Network, the Eastern Europe Festival Network, and is associated with the International Association of Animation Films (ASIFA), the Experimental Centre of Cinematography, and the RIFF. It is supported by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the Municipality of San Vito al Tagliamento, where it takes place in the second half of November.
Beyond the regional boundaries, the festival’s scope extends internationally thanks to various partnerships, especially with Slovenia, where long-standing collaborations with Drustvo 2Kolute, Forum Ljubljana, Stripburger, and the Animateka Film Festival continue to strengthen. Other participating institutions include OTTOmani Association (Bologna), Cinemazero Association (Pordenone), Cinemazero Media Library, Cultural Association Research Area Group (Staranzano), La Tempesta discs snc, La CappellaUnderground (Trieste), Cinema Ariston in Trieste, Trieste Contemporanea, and the Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche (Udine).

A special program by Kusakabe Keiko
This special program showcases five short films selected from the Animation category of the Tokyo Student Film Festival, commonly known as “Togakusai,” featuring works nominated from its 2023 and 2024 editions. The Tokyo Student Film Festival is the largest and longest-running student-operated film festival in Japan, established in 1988, the final year of the Showa era. In 2024, it will celebrate its 35th edition, remaining a truly student-run film festival where students handle every aspect of planning and operations. The festival originated from the “Waseda Gattai Film Festival” held at Waseda University in 1987, later evolving into the ongoing “Waseda Film Festival” (the 37th edition will take place in 2025). To broaden its reach, it was transformed into the Tokyo Student Film Festival, adopting a city-wide screening format for a more comprehensive film event.
Since the 33rd edition in 2022, the festival has taken place over three days in mid-August at EuroLive, a commercial venue in Shibuya. It features three categories: Live-Action Feature Films, Live-Action Short Films, and Animation, with Grand Prizes and Jury Prizes awarded in each section. Beginning with Togakusai 2024 (its 35th edition), the Grand Prize winner in the Live-Action Short Film section is screened in the East Asia Now segment of the Short. Notably, the 2024 edition received a record 270 submissions from all over Japan.
The Tokyo Student Film Festival defines a “student film” as any work directed by a student at the time of its production. Regardless of age, if the director was enrolled in a Japanese school while filming, it qualifies as a student film. The festival accepts both short films (under 40 minutes) and features, in both live action and animation, for its competitive selection.
The festival is entirely organized by students: the staff consists solely of university undergraduates from their first to third year. They meet every Saturday in Shimokitazawa, dividing responsibilities between the Operations and Public Relations teams. A single representative oversees the entire process to ensure smooth coordination, but there are no adults or industry professionals involved. Everything is managed independently by the students. Most of these students have limited background in film or the film industry, meaning they are neither “film kids” nor avid cinephiles. Essentially, it’s a festival organized by students, for students, and fully run by students.
Our path to this screening began with a chance encounter in October 2022 at the Ca’ Foscari Short Film Festival in Japan, held at a commercial cinema in Ikebukuro. Among the audience was Itaru Fujisaki, then a first-year student in Literature and Media at Meiji University and part of the Tokyo Student Film Festival staff. Thanks to Fujisaki’s invitation, we attended the 2023 and 2024 editions of the festival and had the opportunity to watch many films by Japanese students. We couldn’t help thinking, “It’s such a shame these films aren’t shown more widely around the world!” We were particularly struck by the quality of Japanese animation, which stands out for its creative freedom, deep sensitivity, and diversity of approaches. We contacted Fujisaki again—who by 2024 had become the representative for the 35th edition—to discuss our idea, and thus this special program took shape.
Below is a message from Fujisaki, Representative of the Tokyo Student Film Festival, taken from the festival’s official website:
“Students who have fallen in love with cinema make films to enthrall others in turn.
The average person might not pay much attention to student-made films.
But the students creating these works today will be the ones who shape Japan’s film industry tomorrow.
Being a ‘student’ is a unique time in life, one that allows for boundless creativity, startling ideas, and remarkable originality.
We want more people to realize that student films can be as captivating as any other films.”
“Through cinema, we strive to explore and showcase the immense potential of students from various angles. At the same time, we aim to contribute to the development of the Japanese film industry by highlighting ‘student films’ as a significant genre. Ultimately, we hope to serve as a bridge between young directors and the professional film industry.”
Over the years, the Tokyo Student Film Festival has provided a platform for the earliest works of many directors who remain active on the independent scene, including Aoyama Shinji, Sono Sion, Kishu Izuchi, Kumazawa Naoto, Nakamura Yoshihiro, Tsukikawa Sho, Koizumi Norihiro, Okuyama Yoshiyuki, Nakagawa Ryutaro, Yamato Yūki, and Tomoki Misato.
The festival has also hosted as judges and guest directors notable figures from the Japanese film and animation industry, such as the late Umezu Kazuo (manga artist), Sugii Gisaburō, Shinkai Makoto, and Mirai Mizue (animation directors), as well as live-action directors like Ishii Takashi, Obayashi Nobuhiko, Oshii Mamoru, Sai Yōichi, Shimizu Takashi, Zeze Takahisa, Sōmai Shinji, Takita Yojirō, Fukada Koji, Furuhata Yasuo, Mishima Yukiko, Miike Takashi, Yokohama Satoko, Go Rijū, and Wakamatsu Koji. Many other esteemed creators have been involved as well, including Shinkai Makoto, Mirai Mizue, Oshii Mamoru, Miike Takashi, and Fukada Koji.
Actors and filmmakers connected to Tsukamoto Shin’ya’s works, such as Taguchi Tomorowo, as well as Tezuka Makoto—visual artist and son of Osamu Tezuka—have participated as jurors and guest directors, further affirming the festival’s importance as a key platform for emerging talent in Japanese cinema.

Director: Itō Rina
Narration: Nakai Chisato
Length: 7’58”
Copyright: © Itō Rina 2024
SYNOPSIS:
There is always a gap—large or small—between how we perceive ourselves and how others see us. This film tries to express that gap. Generally, we categorize others with words and, almost unconsciously, interpret them through the images these words evoke. That can happen in any situation, and this work is no exception. One day, I found myself transformed into something bizarre. I remove my skin repeatedly, trying in vain to regain my original shape.
PROFILE:
Born in Japan in 2000, Itō Rina graduated from Tokyo Zokei University in 2024 with a major in animation. During her time in school, she mainly produced films of a self-documentary style.
