動畫學府專題放映
加州藝術學院

美國的加州藝術學院（California Institute of the Arts，簡稱CalArts）是坐落在洛杉磯北區的一所頂尖的藝術學院。其培養出的專業藝術家、表演藝術工作者、電影製片、動畫製作等創意人才分佈在世界各地。成立於1961年，由華特‧迪士尼本人創辦，CalArts是美國第一所正式授予視覺和表演藝術學位的高等院校，也是全球頂尖的動畫學府。

CalArts有兩個動畫學系：角色動畫系（Character Animation）、實驗動畫系（Experimental Animation）；後者提供學生一個探索、發展和完成個人藝術作品的專業環境，前者以精通動畫中敘事性和人物角色在的表演藝術為重心，其課程設計提供了綜合藝術和技術的培訓，在學習的過程，學生須完成一份具專業水平的個人作品集。

角色動畫學系之年度學生影片發表會「製作人特映會（Character Animation Producers’Show）」，早年是專門為動畫界製作人、導演安排的非公開性放映，類似選秀會；如今開放索票，因作品出眾，每年五月特映會仍是動畫界盛事，校友與業界人士不願錯過，爭相前來，一票難求。

第一屆關渡國際動畫節，有幸完整地放映加州藝術學院角色動畫學系的「2011年製作人特映會」，感謝該系系主任Dan Hansen的協助。

Featured Animation Institute
CALARTS

California Institute of the Arts (also known as CalArts) is a top art school located north of Los Angeles. Alumni of professional artists, performing artists, filmmakers, animation artists, and other creative talents are around the world. Founded in 1961 by Walt Disney himself, CalArts is the first American college granting degrees in visual and performing arts, and remains one of the world's top animation schools.

There are two animation programs at CalArts, Character Animation and Experimental Animation. The latter provides a professional environment for students to explore, develop and accomplish personal animated works as fine arts pieces, while the former is designed for students who seek an understanding of the art of character performance and storytelling in animation. It provides comprehensive artistic and technical training. During the course of their studies, students develop a professional-caliber portfolio.

The Character Animation Department’s annual student film showcase, called the Producers ' Show started first as a special screening for industry guests only, mainly producers, directors and recruiters. It has since evolved into a public screening with limited seating, but remains a must-see industry annual event.

2011 KIAF is honored to be permitted to screen “2011 CalArts’ Producers’ Show” in its entirety. Special thanks to Director Dan Hansen for his help and generosity.
