Ten AANT students and two faculty members are currently in Zagreb to take part in two Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) organized by Algebra University, an Erasmus partner with which the Academy has been collaborating for the past three years. The AANT group will return to Rome on 17 January after spending a week working with lecturers and students from other European academies on shared projects.
Students are attending two courses. The first, Fundamentals of Video Production, focuses on the basics of audiovisual production and on developing skills related to video language, from planning through to production. Representing AANT are Elena Costantini, Denise Angrisani, Stefano Mastrobuoni, Maddalena Nasca, and Gabriele Sardone, accompanied by lecturer Matteo Quarta. The second, Creative Visual Project, is a strongly project-based programme structured as an international contest—a competitive format in which AANT has stood out over the years. In the previous edition, the contest was won by the Rome Academy itself. This year’s participants are Benedetta Perri, Maurizio Matta, Aurora Conte, Angelo Nawfal, and Aurora Cinti, accompanied by lecturer Raffaele Grasso, who also served as the project lead last year.
Participation in the Zagreb BIPs represents a meaningful growth opportunity for AANT students, who will be able to work in international teams, engage with real briefs, and develop projects within a multicultural, intensive, and inspiring environment.
