In this project, third-year students use comics to strengthen external clients’ communication. Signe, Asger, Sasha and Cecylia worked with @seashepherd on their project: “It was a great experience to work with a client on their vision for their organization. They gave us a lot of freedom, and we were able to create illustrations that appeal to emotions in ways that photos and text alone cannot.” Additional project partners included Københavns Universitet, Ungdomsbevægelsen FLOR, Skagen Fuglestation, De Frivilliges Hus Viborg, and the Center for Animation, Visualization and Digital Storytelling.

And how do you get your film selected? This spring, the film workshops across Denmark are offering a new workshop series on festival distribution that will help you navigate exactly that. In the workshop, you’ll learn: 🔶 How film festivals select films 🔶 How to develop a strategy for your festival distribution 🔶 How to understand and navigate festival rules and premiere requirements 🔶 How to present your short film in the best possible way In short: How to bring yourself and your finished short film out to audiences and the film industry in Denmark and the rest of the world.

This time, we’re taking you along for a ride in the game SUBSONIC SHOWDOWN 🎮 "The company that invented a kinetic battery; the Megacell, runs the popular sports event called the Super Sonic Showdown; a game akin to capture the flag, but on hoverboards. In a specific neighborhood, whenever a Megacell is acquired through whatever means, the locals play their own version of the Super Sonic Showdown; the Subsonic Showdown, where you fight to get to keep it for yourself. Do tricks to power up your speed and wack your opponents to grab the Megacell in this local four-player game." 🌟The talented team behind SUBSONIC SHOWDOWN is: Daniel Meerson Simon Piao Bergendorff @piao_simon Vivien Lea Csende @artbyeluria Dominique Tia Katariina Desanges @dodoseraphim Tara Heather Kelly Asbjorn Hersom @ashercyran Helena Naumov Rasmussen @jinxypig Lasse Boie Frode Sørensen @frode.s.portfolio We hope you've enjoyed these five sneak peeks into the amazing ANIM22 projects – you'll find all five graduation project trailers on our YouTube channel (link in bio). #subsonicshowdown #theanimationworkshop #graduationprojects #anim22 #classof2026

"When the king’s blade felled his own son, a curse took root, poisoning the land and all who dwell within. Sybil, born under its shadow, walks a path of vengeance, wielding a power that eats away at her soul. Haunted by echoes of a lost past and guided by fragments of a once trusted bond, she must make a choice: embrace corruption and fight, or watch the world rot." For now, we’re sharing sneak peeks — but full versions of all five graduation projects will follow later 🚀 🌟The talented team behind THE CURSE @thecurse.taw is: James F.

"A shot rings out in the quiet of space. Julie's hand trembles as she grips her gun. A body lies dead on the floor, its appearance identical to her companion. Given no proof or reassurance that she shot the right person, Julie has to grapple with the possibility of having killed her best friend."
