Animated Documentary in Brazil

The Animated Documentary initiative uses animation and illustration as a starting point for conversations about biodiversity, climate, responsibility, and dialogue between the Global North and South. Eighteen Danish animation and illustration students from The Animation Workshop in Viborg worked intensively over three weeks with twenty Brazilian film students from Instituto Querô in Santos, Brazil. The collaboration resulted in two illustrated documentary films and four animated campaign films, all highlighting the unique potential of young people from the North and South co-creating new audiovisual climate narratives. The films will be launched in the course of 2025. The project is part of Animated Engagement.

The films will be launched in the course of 2025. The project is part of Animated Engagement, a collaboration between The Animation Workshop (TAW) and the Danish Cultural Institute, supported by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ GLOBUS funding scheme. The project also builds a bridge between Viborg and Santos – two UNESCO Creative Cities.
