Trojan Horse was a Unicorn (THU) is a four-day Digital Entertainment Festival set for 18-21 September in sunny Troia, Portugal, promising unique opportunities to learn and network in paradise. If you’re not already planning to attend, consider putting it on your 2014 calendar. A premier event for producers, animators, game developers, concept artists, 3D generalists, VFX and CG professionals and the curious, passionate, restless and fearless, this first edition of THU will unite at least 700 professionals and students from around the world for four days of talks, demo-classes, roundtables, investment pitches, recruitment sessions, recruitment challenges and much more.
Naturally, the mythical atmosphere of Troia is one reason why THU will be so fantastic. “When we first dreamed of bringing together the giants of the VFX and animation industry,” the organizers explain, “we imagined a Festival in a professional, creative, friendly environment. A place to come, see and conquer. Troia offers all that: great design, cutting-edge technology, beautiful beaches and the kind of magical ambience that will make your experience at THU unforgettable.”
Not only will the THU Festival present unique opportunities to learn, work and rub elbows with some of the world’s most accomplished professional artists, but also to kickstart and elevate careers at the highest levels.
