Event Details
Do you want to write funny? Create laughable characters and unleash them on each other and the world in ridiculous situations? Irish cartoonist, comedian and tv writer Luke Healy knows how, and he’ll share tips, tricks, and techniques in the VAF Masterclass “Writing Funny”.
Healy’s masterclass is divided into two sections. In the morning, from 10 to 12, he will discuss his work as an artist and writer and the techniques “Point of View” and “Game”, both derived from improv theater. They are his personal go-tos when writing comedy for tv and comics.
In the afternoon, 13 – 16, Healy will invite masterclass participants to make their own strip comics using the techniques he described before lunch – and offer advice, encouragement and feedback along the way.

Cartoonist, comedian and tv writer based in Dublin, Ireland. He has written and drawn four graphic novels and a number of short stories. His books have been translated into five languages and singled out among the “best of the year” by The Guardian, Publishers Weekly and The Washington Post among others.

Insights on the current development: New technologies, new consumption patterns, new expectations, new ambitions and new generations. Everything impacts the future media landscape, and therefore becomes important for the industry producing content from fact to fiction, and advertisement for the digital platforms. The goal is to learn about both the challenges and the opportunities the industry faces today.

13.10 The media landscape of the future
Sofie Hvitved and Bugge Holm Hansen, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies, who give their take on how the media landscape will change over the coming years. How does the media consumer of the future behave? What kind of content will dominate? What will AI mean? And what about democracy, representation and public service?
14.00 The ballad about ‘Kolonihaven’
‘Everything is complete; whimsically and elegantly delivered.’ That’s what the film magazine EKKO writes in its review of probably the most talked about documentary series, Kolonihaven, at the moment. Meet producer Majbrit Oddershede Pedersen and photographer Frederik Thyberg in a Q&A, which, supplemented with selected clips, examines the grip of the series and, not least, perspectives for future Public Service TV.
15.00 Coffee break
15.15 AI – is already here!

Event Details
Sci-Vi Seminar 2023
When research communication moves out of text-heavy publications and becomes visual productions – a seminar on Science Visualization
What can it look like when research dissemination moves out of text-heavy publications and becomes visual expressions? When the research format moves out of books and publications and becomes visual, where does it go?
At this years Sci-Vi seminar we will look at different platforms for animated research communication.
We have chosen to present a preponderance of cases about climate and environmental productions as examples, but the day is relevant for all research- and knowledge fields and – environments as well as visual storytellers, animators, illustrators, producers and people in the visual industry in general.
Remember to book tickets for the Sci-Vi screening as well.

Peter Vistisen
Associate Professor, PhD, in Digital Media & Design, Aalborg University
“Science Visualization is an important part of the dissemination of knowledge across different audiences. However, the skill is rarely taught formally when scientists are educated through neither PhD programs or assistant professorshop courses. In the SciVi community we have experimented with developing new types of courses, which teaches scientist to think like producers, and prepare them to engage in collaborations with visual artist. In this talk we will discuss the models tested so far, and how we in the not so distant future might imagine science visualization as an integrated part of the research process itself.”
