Event Details

GoCritic!@AFN is a training programme for emerging European film journalists and critics, organized by AFN - Animation Festival Network in partnership with Cineuropa and Zippy Frames and co-financed by the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme of the European Union

This is a two-year partnership with the Animation Festival Network (AFN).
