DIGITALENT Academy at Mundos Digitales 2026

A Coruña, Spain | 9–11 July 2026

DIGITALENT Academy participated in the 24th International Conference on Animation, Visual Effects, Artificial Intelligence and New Media – Mundos Digitales 2026, held in A Coruña, Spain, one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to animation, VFX, virtual production, AI and digital storytelling.

Representing DIGITALENT Academy were Pavel Smetana, Project Coordinator, and Lukáš Skalník, CEO of Fantasy Studios and coordinator of the DIGITALENT project.

During the conference they presented the session “Virtual Production and Hands-On Training in Real-Time Filmmaking”, introducing the DIGITALENT Academy training programme and its practical approach to Virtual Production, Unreal Engine and AI-assisted filmmaking.  A significant part of the presentation focused on one of today’s most discussed topics in the audiovisual industry: the relationship between Virtual Production and Generative AI. The session explored how AI is already transforming production workflows, how it can accelerate creative processes, and how it can be effectively integrated into feature films and television production alongside Virtual Production technologies.

The presentation attracted considerable interest from the audience, particularly students, emerging filmmakers and young professionals from across Spain. The lively discussion that followed confirmed the growing demand for practical education combining Virtual Production with AI-driven filmmaking. Beyond the presentation itself, the conference provided an excellent opportunity to meet studios, technology companies, trainers and creative professionals from across Europe. It also enabled the DIGITALENT team to establish new contacts and discuss future collaborations within the Creative Europe community.

During our stay in A Coruña, we  also visited Pedralonga Studios, where we met with representatives of the local audiovisual sector and discussed future cooperation in Virtual Production training, digital content creation and international educational initiatives.

We would like to thank the entire Mundos Digitales team for another outstanding edition of the conference and for creating an inspiring meeting place for the international digital content community.

We look forward to returning next year.
