It’s coming!
The Fulldome Festival Brno 2023 is only a few months away. The most important part of the festival (right after meeting all the friends and colleagues) is of course the shows. And although the submissions are still open… they will not stay open forever. 🙂
The submissions close on February 28. So no more postponing, no more procrastinating. It is time to act. The festival needs your shows now!

Inna-Leonov Kenny
Inna Leonov-Kenny was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, back when it was still a part of the Soviet Union. She got her love of drawing from her artist father, and her obsession with animation from a bootleg black-and-white copy of Disney’s “Snow White”. After her family emigrated to the United States, Inna studied digital art at Drexel University, and eventually joined Spitz, Inc, where she spent the next twenty years helping create fulldome planetarium shows, including FFB-award-winning “Faster Than Light” and “Birth of Planet Earth”.
She is currently teaching animation at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts. When not at her computer, Inna is most likely to be reading historical fiction, checking the news from Ukraine or watching cartoons with her husband and kids.
