Synthetic Characters in
an Imperfect World

Taking the academy short film award winning movie “Ryan” as an example, Vibeke will talk about how to bridge the gap between documentary and animation and how computer animation is increasingly involved in documentaries.

A screening of the short film “Ryan” will also be included.
