Participants in JAPIC's 2012-2013 Animation Artist in Residency Program engaging directly with Japanese animation culture.
A notable opportunity came through the wire this week from Tokyo, where the Japan Image Council are offering a 70-day residency in early 2014 for young animators interested in engaging directly with Japanese animation culture (in other words, all young animators). Applicants must be between the ages of 20 and 35, and have had their work screened previously at an international film festival. More information can be found on JAPIC's website.
Now, without further ado, here are this week's opportunities, events and job openings, all culled from Rhizome Announce:
