about
Together with the Animation Association of Armenia, we brought together 50+ artists and industry professionals from Armenia’s animation and sound communities for three days of workshops, discussions, and informal exchange.
  • 50+ artists
    Animators, directors, sound designers, composers, producers, and other industry professionals.
  • 3 days
    A three-day gathering for exchange, connection, and time together near Sevan.
  • 10+ events
    Panel discussions, talks, workshops, film screenings, and informal exchange.
Animation Camp was an opportunity to connect Armenia’s sound and animation communities — and create new collaborations and working opportunities for artists.

Beyond the formal programme, much of the Camp was built around conversations, shared meals, screenings, and time together — creating space for connections that could continue beyond the Camp itself.

why

Animation Camp is designed as a space for the professional community to exchange — with enough space outside the formal programme to meet, talk, and discover possible collaborators.

This is a chance to meet animation studios and independent animators, understand how the industry works, and potentially find collaborators and paid projects after the Camp.
