Pictoplasma

Pictoplasma Berlin welcomes all international character design pioneers, creatives and enthusiasts for a special 5-day IRL celebration of the very best in contemporary character design and art.

The central Pictoplasma Conference presents 18+ key lectures by the world’s most influential artists and upcoming talents, cutting-edge illustrators, game designers and leading animation filmmakers, offering the chance to learn from and be inspired by some of today’s most innovative and avant-garde artists. The 2023 official animation section will screened 70+ selected short films in four programs, featuring the latest and freshest generation of characters in motion, be it narrative shorts, music visuals, experimental animation, and anything in between – with many of the filmmakers present to discuss their work in Q&A sessions. Pictoplasma Berlin 2023 takes place at the extensive premises of a former crematorium, the Silent Green, a beautiful, vibrant cultural venue that has already hosted several memorable Pictoplasma events. Silent Green houses all activities at one lively venue, with conference talks, panels, animation screenings, workshops and exhibitions happening both inside and Open Air — all taking into account the governing rules of hygiene and social distance, while delivering tons of infectious character inspiration.
