Meetings & Talks
sharing ideas and socializing
A big part of Fantoche is interaction and exchange. In the “Meet the Artists” section, the competition filmmakers respond to viewers' questions. In our “Game Talks”, “AniDoc Talk” and “Swiss Talks”, we provide a platform for both the creative minds and the scientific professionals, and delve more deeply into this year's key themes.
Five leading figures from the Swiss animated film scene introduce their highly individual working models and organization structures. They offer facts, arguments and ideas for the subsequent podium debate on realistic perspectives and bold visions for Swiss animated film.

Where does fiction start and reality end? In digital games, the tension between reality and fiction is more multifaceted than ever. Technical features and creative experiments blur the boundaries, simulate real life and blend invention with actual experience. Our guest speakers can perfectly navigate the game of reality and fiction.
