Key facts

Animation is a versatile medium of expression and communication that spans various media and contexts, from short films and art installations to infographics, education, and apps. 

The modes of production are many and the lines between live-action, animation and computer generated imagery have become increasingly blurred. At Srishti Manipal we consider as animation a broad range of practices in manipulated moving images. The animation programme  is a learning space for self-driven students who are keen in pursuing a line of inquiry and developing their practice in moving-image arts.

Students can explore and develop personal styles, artistic visions and voices depending on their particular lines of enquiry. The focus is on achieving an ease and expertise in using the language of animation to pose relevant questions and address diverse topics of interest.
