During the 20th edition of Film Spring Open Workshops, which will take place on October 7–16, 2025, we invite you to join the Music Video Group, partnered by NEXT FILM. The music video will be created for a song by the band LOR, who will be personally present at the workshops!
The group will be led by Kobas Laksa – visual artist, animator, director, and animation producer. Thanks to his creative experience, participants will gain insight into both:
traditional filmmaking techniques (film set, green screen, editing)
and new technologies related to artificial intelligence.
“Artificial intelligence, through parallel hallucinations, allows us to look at the image not only as a record of the world but as an open window to imagination. What was once impossible becomes a field of experimentation, where art and technology meet to create new, groundbreaking worlds.” – says Kobas Laksa.
The program is aimed at both experienced designers, art directors, and creatives, as well as those taking their first steps in visual storytelling / narrative design / visual design with the use of artificial intelligence and classical techniques.
