IVGC Bratislava 2027 - Visual Effects Transformations VIII
IVGC is a two-day international conference organized annually in April by the Visual Effects and Game Design Studio of the Film and Television Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. It is the 14th continuation of AVFX activities in the field of searching for possibilities for the development of visual effects and the 8th continuation that strives for the international level of interpreted scientific knowledge in VFX and GD. It takes place simultaneously as a personal and remote meeting of students via video conference connection using the MS TEAMS program.
The 14th IVGC will be held on April 8-9, 2026.
The conference is intended primarily for students of VFX and HD study programs at schools operating in Europe, but also for external professional or amateur interested parties in both domestic and international contexts.
The communication language is English.
The task is to present the most important professional ideas of the presenting participants, create opportunities for future cooperation, and inform and motivate not only the participants about the current level of VFX and HD in Europe and the world.
The conference event focuses on international cooperation between the FilmEU+ association of 8 European universities. IVGC is also part of the Widening Innovation Research Scope in FilmEU project.
Presentations are recorded in TEAMS and the conference is broadcast live on the YouTube channel.
After editing, individual video contributions are shared via the WEB pages: www.avfx.sk and via the websites of participating foreign schools. The presentations are available to the general professional public.
The conference is complemented by the creation of an electronic written document, the IVGC 2027 Proceedings, which is a written visual record of individual presentations from both conference days. The proceedings also include contributions that were not presented in the videoconference presentations, but are an important insight into the professional and pedagogical environment of VFX and HD around the world.
