Week’s Notice is a diploma project from the Animationsinstitut at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. Directed by Pascal Santaella and produced by Liubov Popova and Frederik Stapf, it’s built around one simple idea:
Why not just start?
In fast-paced 5-day workshops, long-postponed ideas finally get made – from first spark to working prototype. The whole journey is filmed along the way.
The result: A prototype / A YouTube series / An exhibition
At FMX 2026, you can check out two Week’s Notice projects:
Drop by, have a look (and a listen), and see what can happen in just one week. Plus: music videos by Filmakademie students—each made in a single day.
