Hothouse

The National Film Board of Canada periodically runs a program called Hothouse, where they offer emerging animators the paid opportunity to create short films at the NFB. The program is only open to Canadian citizens or landed immigrants and the call has just gone out for the sixth edition, for which all films will be made in stereoscopic 3D.

The deadline for submissions is February 19 and the program will run from April 5 to June 25 in Montreal. Anyone interested can find out more details here.

Mark,

Do you know what sort of knowledge base they are looking for? Would they prefer a background in CG or 2D animation or either?

Jonathan, I don't know anything more than what they've got on their website. My advice (to anyone) is if you're interested, pitch them an idea and see what happens.
