Cultural Evening | Lecture Demonstration with Director Natalia Mirzoyan

The Accademia Teatro Dimitri is delighted to host Natalia Mirzoyan, an award-winning animation film director, for a public lecture demonstration.

Creating means turning an idea into something tangible to be shared with others. It is an intricate weave of experiences, knowledge, and research that requires time and dedication. In theatre, it is said that one day of work equals one minute on stage. In animation cinema, however, the rhythm is even slower: less than 10 seconds are produced in a day.

During the evening, Natalia will present some of her films and share insights into the creative process that brought them to life.

🌟 The cultural evening is open to everyone and we warmly welcome all those curious to discover the art of animation.
