What has happened so far?
The Animated Film Studio is one of the four programme areas of ZOOM Children’s Museum. Children and young people have been producing animated films there since 2001, which are then added to the museum’s collection.
The project team at ZOOM Children’s Museum has carried out important research in order to further develop and modernise the service offered by the Animated Film Studio, and to optimise preparations for its relaunch. The project staff have:
... compiled a detailed analysis of the experience gained over two decades of creative workshop conception and execution.
... examined, documented and summarised the creative process of the children and young people’s animated films, under sociological supervision and in communication with focus groups.
... researched and documented the history of the ZOOM Animated Film Studio and the ZOOM Collection, as well as studies on them.
... formulated in detail the concept for the contemporary adaptation of the Animated Film Studio.
The research results also provide the partner institution Sladovna with valuable input for the reconception of a media lab in Písek.
Toward the goal of building a cross-border, sustainable network around the two partner institutions ZOOM Children’s Museum and Sladovna on the theme of “Creative Media Work with Children and Young People”, meetings were held in Vienna and Písek at the start of the project. Due to COVID-19, meetings have been conducted online since March 2020. The aim of the meetings has been to find forms of exchange on the content-related and creative levels, which should continue after the conclusion of the project in June 2021.
