Blood-Sweat-Tears-Love-Animation + Q&A

Presented by Animation and Film studio – Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM)

Exploration, experimentation, animation, audiovisual work, short film, artistic solutions, seeking and finding—joy! The Animation and Film Studio at the Academy of Art, Architecture, and Design in Prague, established in 1951, holds the distinction of being the oldest in the Czech Republic. While it values and builds upon tradition, the studio actively explores formal crossovers and pushes the boundaries of animation through experimentation with audiovisual works.

This screening invites you to dive into the studio’s recent productions, including Stone of Destiny by Julie Černá, which premiered at Berlinale 2025. The program features a mix of classic narrative, documentary, and experimental films, as well as music videos. The films and the studio itself will be presented by the head of the studio, Michaela Režová, followed by a Q&A session.
