Networking and Career Opportunities in the UK & EU

FESTIVALS

Aesthetica Film Festival Going to attend a sound lecture, unfortunately it is not the topic that I am interested in which is sound in post-production.

London International Animation Festival (LIAF) Attend the KINOManual Workshop and had a good chat with Katy Wang while we were putting bleach on the film negatives. Katy is a London-based freelance animator. She has just graduated from Kingston's Illustration and Animation. Talked quite a bit about grad films, freelance work and gender issues in Animation. She's really nice and open and we've decided to catch up during Annecy. Also met Alex Castro who's currently doing his final year at RCA and does cool direct on film animation. Overall, a good experience talking to them two!

Annecy It happens after uni ends, so can't really talk much about it. I am looking forward to going and have a chat with people while sitting beside the lake. Last year's experience was great, the crowds are super friendly. Queueing up for hours doesn't really feel that long with some friendly conversations.

JOBS

Moth Animation Summer Internship When I saw the internship post on my Instagram feed, I got really excited to send an application. It's always been my dream to work at Moth. I really like their approach to storytelling and the design of their animations. They have always impress me with the ability to highlight the emotive aspect in their commissioned work.

Royal Institution Artist in Residence Heard about this position from a tutor. I especially took interest in applying for this position after watching RI's Michael Faraday Animation. The animation is made using collage and collections of real life objects. The combination of the peculiar visual and play of word gives a creative solution which confronts the conception that that science is only for the smart and nerdy. The dry facts are made accessible to public through whole aesthetic. I applied for this position because I am interested to explore how the concept of science can be made fun and accessible to adults and children. 

LAU Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Scheme

Leeds Arts University offers a mentoring programme for two international students who are keen to develop a credible business idea. The deadline for the application is on the 30th of May. As I have said on my Extended evaluation, I intend to do a collective pitch with Galuh Indri Wiyarti from Level 6 Illustration, so we will dedicate some time to create a collective branding, compile a portfolio and also send an email to express interest our interest to the LAU International team.
