After a truly remarkable 2013 edition,
Ciclope International Festival of Craft is getting back to Berlin with brand new venues and an outstanding line up of speakers and jurors that establishes this event as a must for creative professionals.
This year, Ciclope Festival will take place on 6th and 7th November at Babylon and Soho House Berlin.
In its 5th edition, Ciclope will continue honoring the art of execution in more than 20 categories including Direction, Visual Effects, Production Design, 3D Animation, Sound Design, Music Video, Mobile App and Live Experience, among others. The call for entries starts today!
Ciclope Festival is the only international event fully dedicated to the “craft” in moving image. In the last few years, it has become a platform for directors, creatives, artists, producers, digital creatives and clients to share knowledge, be inspired and celebrate the best work. Unlike advertising festivals, this event focuses on the art of execution, rather than the ideas. Annually held since 2010, Ciclope Festival gathers world top-notch professionals to share their ideas and know how, to discuss the main issues of the business, to celebrate the best work and to network with colleagues and clients.
Ciclope’s guest list of speakers and jurors gathers names such as Georges Bermann (Founder of
Partizan, France), Ben Davies (Head of Broadcast at Droga5, US), Guido Heffels (co-Founder of Heimat, Germany), Davud Karbassioun (Head of Film at
BBH London, UK), Johannes Ahlund (co- Founder of B-Reel, Sweden), Morihiko Hasebe (Executive Creative Director at
Hakuhodo Inc., Japan) and
Marisa Clifford (co-Founder of
Pulse Films, UK).
(Please find a complete list of guests below.)
Last year attendees enjoyed Ciclope’s award show and conferences performed by inspiring speakers like
Mike McGee (Creative Director at Framestore), who revealed the behind the scenes secrets of Gravity, the award winning film by
Alfonso Cuarón, or
Julian Frost, the multi awarded director of animated film
Dumbs Ways to Die. Please, watch a summary of what happened in 2013
