‘Small Things Considered’ is this year’s theme for the three-month paid mentorship in all-inclusive, real-world animation filmmaking; the deadline for submission is July 10.
The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has opened submissions to emerging animation creators for the 14th edition of Hothouse, which offers a three-month paid mentorship in all-inclusive, real-world animation filmmaking in the tradition of NFB animation.
The NFB is seeking six new talents willing and able to jump head-first into this intensive experience.
The theme this year is "Small Things Considered."
Hothouse is about reimagining ways of making animation—ways that are faster and more flexible and embrace the vast possibilities of the animation process while achieving creative and technical excellence.
The team includes producer Maral Mohammadian; associate producer Anne Koizumi; mentoring director Andrea Dorfman; the NFB Animation & Interactive Studio team; and the Hothouse 14 production crew.
The deadline for submission is Monday, July 10, 2023, at 5 p.m. – Submission guidelines are available here.
Hothouse 14 is available to participants working in the location of their choice, anywhere in Canada. Participants who reside near the NFB offices in Montreal or Vancouver can choose to work from there. Most of the program is remote.
Participants must be willing and able to travel to Montreal for one week of orientation, September 25–29, 2023, and again for one week of post-production, December 11–15, 2023. Travel will be arranged and paid for by the NFB.
