14:00 - 15:00 Lecture Ana Nedeljkovic (RS): Rabbitland or how to make a pink dystopia 

Ana Nedelkjkovic , who won last year’s great prize at the Tricky Women festival with Rabbitland (co-director: Nikola Majdak Jr.) will take the movie as a starting point to reflect on the possibilities of declaring political positions by means of animation. The lecture is followed by a three-day workshop which will be held by Ana 

Nedeljkovic and Nikola Majdak jr. in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna: 

 

Rabbitland 2 is a series of workshops in which the film authors explore what could happen in the Rabbitland sequel, together with the participants. The goal is not to find the ideal scenario for the future film, but the process of artistic exploration itself. The basic topics that the authors want to explore are: the possibilities of creating dystopian worlds and the characters that inhabit them, as well as their potential for contemporary social events reflection; the relation utopia-dystopia-reality; the position of female characters in construction of dystopian narratives; use of “cute” animated characters, as well as general use of animation for emphasizing significant social topics; relationship of animation and contemporary visual art.
