About

I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation. Previously, I was an Animation Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil. MFA and PhD by the Graduate Program in Arts at EBA/UFMG. I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

2007-Aug-03: Chris Sanders website

Is now online the new Chris Sanders' website. He is known for his work as the director of Lilo & Stitch and writer of Mulan, The Lion King and The Beauty and the Beast.

Some months ago he was fired from Disney while he was directing his new movie, American Dog, which was very promising and based on his own ideas. It happened just after John Lasseter arrived at Disney, with the acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios.

Make sure you visit the "sketches" session from this very talented guy who is now a director at DreamWorks Animation.
