Before this seminar I was familiar with the term avant-garde but the concept of auteurship was completely new to me and I found it incredibly interesting. Auteurship is a theory based around great directors being artists in there own right. The auteur was a concept originally created in response to "generic" hollywood produced films. There are many brilliant film directors who are considered auteurs and I believe that those people are visual artists. Animation is a type of film its storyboarded and written in the same way its just carried out differently. The function of the director is still the same and that why animators can be considered auteurs.
I feel there are most definitely can be avant-garde animators although all animators are building on the technical concepts left behind by animation's history the concepts created and film making used can still be revolutionary in its own right. I feel those animators are avant-garde visually however I feel they can't be narratively.I do believe however animation in terms of narrative the avant-garde cannot exist it is said that all writing derives from a small number of original stories and that writing a truly revolutionary and original narrative where it gain no inspiration from any previous stories is impossible. I think animators who pioneered new techniques can be classed as avant-garde as they started animation movements in there own right
