ANIMOK 2017

ANIMOK is a school film festival organized by The Animation Workshop / VIA University College in Viborg as part of the annual Viborg Animation Festival - VAF. School classes from all over Denmark can participate in ANIMOK, and through the production of their own animated films, gain insight into the marvelous world of animation.
This year's ANIMOK had 45 participating classes. In addition to Danish classes, this year also featured the participation of a class of Japanese students, a special treat as we celebrated the 150 year anniversary of Japanese-Danish diplomatic relations.
The classes produced animated films based on this year's festival theme "Japan". Through out the course, the students created an animation film from idea, storyboard, design and sound, to a final film. All enrolled classes worked with consultants from The Animation Workshop / VIA University College , which supports the classes in the production of the animated films.
The finished films were uploaded to www.animatedlearning.dk, where you can view them and vote for your favorite for the Audience Award. The ANIMOK jury watched all the films and nominated their favorites for the award ceremony. As something new this year, the festival ended with an ANIMOK-day for all participating classes, who were invited to spend a day in Viborg watching their own movies in the cinema, enjoying special exhibitions, workshops, and an award ceremony. This year, Uncle “Reje” from
Danish TV channel Ramasjang, guided the lions on the festival day.
