Basics
Before starting your festival submissions the films have to be submitted according to the project submission and all details of the film must be deposited in this wiki according to the template for studentfilm. Films from the 1st or 2nd year are only supported after consultation with the animation team.
Festival submission and promotion
The BA Animation offers a one year of promotion for the graduation films from the moment of the school premiere until the next years premiere - in general july to july. We send all new films to Filmfestival Locarno, Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, Solothurner Filmtage, Animatou and Fantoche and the Schweizer Filmpreis. The undergraduates have nothing to do for these festivals. We also send the films to the festivals mentioned on the list of filmfestivals but unfortunately some only accept entries from students directly. The undergraduate has the possibility to submit his / her film officially using the information provided on that list. After a festival selected an entry for the screening we inform the authors, submit the requested screening file format (DCP, mov, mp4) to the festival and provide them with detailed information on the authors and film from this wiki. The successes at the festivals will be communicated to the department, our website and our social media channels.
