8KLO is a three-day creative experience built around animation,
visual storytelling, and collective creation.
It is not a competition. It is not a workshop. It is not a festival in the
traditional sense.

8KLO is a temporary rupture.

For 72 hours, artists are brought together in the same place,
under the same constraints, with one simple objective: create.
From nothing. Fast. Honestly.

The event is designed as an intensive creative bubble, where time is limited, pressure is real, and perfection is not the goal. What matters is instinct, commitment, and the willingness to take risks.
Participants are encouraged to experiment, to fail, to try things they would never dare to do in a professional or academic context.

8KLO exists to give artists something increasingly rare:
time that is short but meaningful, a space that is safe but demanding, and a collective energy that pushes ideas further than they would go alone.

Day 1 — The Beginning

The first day is about tension and excitement.
Participants arrive with ideas, doubts, xpectations — and very little certainty.

After introductions and a shared briefing, the rules are simple: the clock starts now.

Teams form organically. Concepts emerge quickly. Some ideas collapse immediately. Others survive by instinct alone. By the end of the day, projects are fragile but alive.

Day 2 — The Core

The second day is the hardest.

Fatigue sets in. Doubts grow. Technical problems appear. This is where the event truly reveals its purpose. Participants must make decisions, abandon certain paths, and commit fully to others.

Mentors and guests intervene sparingly — not to direct, but to question. The work deepens. Styles become clearer. Projects find their voice.

This is the heart of 8KLO.

Day 3 — The Finish

The final day is about letting go.

There is no time to fix everything. There is no time to second-guess. The goal is not to finish perfectly, but to finish honestly.

Projects are completed, rendered, assembled. In the evening, all films are presented together — not as finished products, but as traces of a shared experience.

The screening is a moment of relief, pride, and vulnerability.
What matters is not comparison, but the collective journey.
