Starting a new school year is always a satisfaction and a confirmation that the passion for Cinema, 3D, animation, concept art and video games is increasingly present in young people. Since October 4, we have celebrated the welcome of the Pre-university, Career and Masters students who are incorporated into university life at FX ANIMATION and the students who continue their training with a series of activities, meetings with families and exclusive presentations of the programs that are included in their trainings: FX Family, FX ESports, FX Experience and AlumniX-.
Within the talks with students that have taken place in Welcome Week 2021, they have been able to learn how to do good time management, how to develop their talent and achieve the success of developing a working life within the profession they have chosen. From the hand of the coordinators, teachers and heads of studies in the areas of cinema and 3D, the students have learned about the structure of the training courses, the professional objectives, they have met their new colleagues and the facilities that they will enjoy to develop their studies.
On Thursday, October 14, the welcome week closed, with the delivery of the MujereX Scholarships and the awards ceremony of the FX ANIMATION FILM FEST 2021, the School Short Film Festival in collaboration with RNE – Ràdio4, which It was held at the Renoir Floridablanca Cinemas on the 5th and 7th with a large attendance of students, families, actors and directors of the shorts and external audiences. The attending public cast their votes for the categories of Best Script, Best VFX and Postproduction, Best Cinematography and Best Direction. On the other hand, the FX ANIMATION FILM FEST has had the participation of a specialized jury made up of such important personalities as Esmeralda Berbel (Literary Writer), Esther Lopera (Communication and Distribution), Quim Casas (Film Critic and writer) Jordi Torcal (Specialist in CGI), chosen for the selection of the best shorts in the same categories and especially, for the delivery of the RNE Va de Cine Award for Best Short, Conxita Casanovas (journalist and film critic, artistic director of the BCN Film Fest and host of the program Va de Cine on Ràdio 4 and Radio 5), who has been in charge of bringing the emotion of the theater to its greatest moment by announcing the name of the winning short.
The day ended with the Welcome Party for Masters students on the school terrace, enlivened by a DJ in collaboration with Microfusa. Starting next Monday, the 18th, the 2021-22 school year and classes in the Classrooms will begin.
