Join our panel discussion on animation for young audiences. Talking about young audience cinema, it is often assumed that animation might be the only type of films that easily transcend the domestic market – "animation travels easily and sells easily". But is that really so? When producing animation for teenagers, what could it look like? Does the family audience really exist? All panelists have a background in young audience content, whether as filmmaker, producer or festival programmer. Together with the audience, they will search for an answer to one of the biggest clichés in the world of cinema: "Animation is only for children".

Bret Battey’s “Estuaries” series of audiovisual compositions (2016-22) and two additional installations were based in part on the exploration of unique algorithmic approaches.His OptiNelder video filter visualises mathematical optimisation processes applied to video or mathematical “terrains”. His Nodewebba software links mathematical-feedback pattern generators to help create emergent musical behaviours. Battey discusses how these tools were part of his investigation of his idea of “fluid audiovisual counterpoint” and finding fruitful intertwining of “event and object” thinking and “continuum, texture and gesture” thinking in combining music and image.
