Based on a major exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford, Tokyo Stories spans 400 years of incredibly dynamic art – ranging from the delicate woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige, to Pop Art posters, contemporary photography, Manga, film, and brand-new artworks that were created on the streets. The exhibition was a smash-hit five-star success and brought a younger and more diverse audience to the museum. The film uses the exhibition as a launchpad to travel to Tokyo itself, and explore the art and artists of the city more fully.

Júlia Farkas is the first Hungarian artist who made a short for Adult Swim Smalls, a series dedicated to young artists who can realize their own vision. Júlia is an animation film director who is also an accomplished art teacher and active in the field of new media, her popular gifs have reached more than 2 billion views on her Giphy’s site. In this masterclass Juli will tell us about how to create an auteur animation even if it is a commissioned work. She will tell us how she came up with the initial idea, how to experiment during the production and let new ideas be born even in the later stages and how can you fit these into the original concept. Afterwards, she will examine why the extra short films and animation go well together and why it is interesting to work in this format and how a strange surreal humor feeds her work. She will also tell about the new challenge she faced, when she started to explore the relationship between the visuals and creative sound design.
