As every year, AG Animationsfilm will once again be present at ITFS 2026 with a panel discussion (May 6, 3:00–5:00 p.m.) followed by a Get Together (May 6, 5:00–7:00 p.m.).
In our panel, “Shaping the Future – Which Skills Will Still Be Needed in Animation?”, panelists Christian Kaufmann, Ralf Kukula, Maurice van Brast, and Jan Adamczyk, together with moderator Michael Bohnenstingl, will explore which foundations and educational pathways in animation remain relevant today—particularly in light of current job market demands and the realities of freelance work.
The discussion will focus on topics such as innovation, the impact of AI and image-generating technologies, and the question of how closely education and professional practice in animation should still be connected today.

Following the panel, we warmly invite you to join our Get Together. We look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces for conversation, exchange, and networking.
During the Get Together, we will also present this year’s honorary membership of AG Animationsfilm to Isabel Herguera.
