Symposium Perspectives on European Animation

The first edition of the FAN Symposium will take place in Spain, in 2025. Six expert speakers will conduct a multidisciplinary analysis of selected films, representing the creative output of Greece and Spain.

Entitled “Perspectives on European Animation”, the event will bring together animation researchers, film academics, industry professionals, and students to discuss the evolving role of European animation in art and culture. The Symposium seeks to explore the artistic, cultural, social, and intellectual value of animation, fostering dialogue across film theory, culture, and creative practice.

Conceived as a specialised event, it aims to support the growth of academic studies in animation in a multifaceted way, providing analytical depth, and is directed at a specialised and qualified audience interested in European animated cinema.

Whether you are an academic, a creative professional, or simply passionate about animation, this Symposium is the place to connect, reflect, and be inspired.
