Award-winning short filmmakers Uri and Michelle Kranot (White Tape, Hollow Land) are organizing a new residency program in Denmark for documentary animators.
The theme of the Anidox 2017 Summer Residency Workshop is “The Sinking of the Truth,” taking its inspiration from Winsor McCay’s seminal 1918 short The Sinking of the Lusitania, which is among the earliest animated documentaries ever made.
During the residency, which will take place for three weeks between June and July 2017 in Viborg, Denmark, six artists will each create a one-minute animated sequence that will be edited together to form a short animated film. The artists will create works around the themes of ‘post-truth’ and ‘fake news.’
