Lecture: Egypt’s Animation Industry
9. May, 15:00 - 16:30
Egypt’s animation industry is one of the oldest in the region, beginning more than 85 years ago by the Frenkel brothers with the release of the first animated movie featuring the famous character of “Mish Mish Effendi”, and then the Moheeb brothers followed their lead. Today, the animation industry in Egypt is witnessing a major bloom on the hands of many studios such as Samaka, Octopus, Nady, Follk, Bare, Monkeys, Hend & Lamiaa, Jump and more, and the plethora of talented individuals and freelancers producing world-class art. The first Egyptian modern animated feature film was also produced a couple of years ago, and another feature film, “The Grand Night” is in development currently. Another major force of change is the animatex animation film festival, that had its first edition happen in November 2020, and which is helping bring all the animation community together; students, studios, freelancers, academics and the broad general audience and showcasing them both locally and internationally.
The session will include a Q&A.
