Fantoche is not just a place where films are shown. We also see our festival as a platform for meeting and exchange for laymen and professionals. In “Meet the Artists,” which is presented, film producers from the “International Competition” and the “Swiss Competition” meet daily for relaxed chats and answer the audience’s questions.

In the “Game Talks” we give priority to discussion and delve into interfaces and intersections between animated film and game design. The key theme this year is the observation of aesthetics. We investigate how animated film producers and game developers find their visual language and what their sources of inspiration are. We look at universally accepted metaphors which have an impact on game developers and filmmakers and want to find out how the aesthetics of computer games and especially of “Independent Games” let themselves be classified culturally and in terms of art history.
