China Academy of Art
6. May, 11:00 - 12:30
Founded in 1928 as the first art academy with complete academic programmes in China, the China Academy of Art has the mission to revitalise Chinese art. It is in active dialogue with the world and has great influence on the development of modern and contemporary art in China. The School of Film and Animation was founded in December 2014 and based on the original Department of Film and Animation established in 2002.
Based on a solid fine arts tradition, the school focuses on establishing a disciplinary system of film and media studies that features a unique visual culture. Animations with a human touch and poetic short films are the school’s research focus, but other subjects like interactive art, sound art, photo art, film and media-theoretical studies are also important components. The goal is to construct a leading Chinese academic system of theatre and film studies that reaches across the disciplines of performing, directing, filming, documenting and fine arts. Observing humanistic spirit and academic integrity as its principles as well as the integration of art, culture and technology as its objective, the school aspires to rejuvenate the traditional culture and innovate the audiovisual media by cultivating all-round film and animation talents who are equipped with an international perspective and excellent leadership skills.
The School of Film and Animation consists of four major departments – Department of Animation, Film and Television, Online Game Design and Photography – and a number of research institutes, including Humanist Animation, Poetic Short Film, Interactive Art, 3D Audiovisual Media, Chinese-Language Youth Film and Chinese Documentary Production Center.
Graduation works of the animation department from the past ten years were selected for this screening.
