ARCHIVE • TORDAS FORUM
A professional gathering at Tordas Castle with the participation of Magisterium AI. The forum explores technological change through a human-centred lens, informed by the wisdom of the Church and creative openness.
THE PLACE
Across five hectares of woodland and 2,500 square metres of built space, a place is taking shape where work and hospitality, silence and laughter naturally belong together.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
Tordas Castle is both a real place and a shared creative home. The building, park and hospitality form the frame; its institutions, studios and projects give it daily life.
The 2,500 m² castle and five-hectare estate: events, hospitality, retreats, filming and community life.
The Castle's international Catholic animation mission, connected to the wider world of EWTN, EWTN Plus and EWTN Studios.
The creative community working here on stories, characters, visual development and animation.
A global Catholic animation competition for beauty, truth and responsible creative technology.
The Catholic cowboy, Blaise and a growing EWTN Kids world of prayer, virtue and adventure.
FROM THE CASTLE TO THE WORLD OF EWTN
Tordas Castle is a creative home within EWTN's international media mission — where television, digital content, studio production and animation can meet.
THREE DISTINCT WORLDS
EWTN Animation, CANA Awards and Tomkin each keep their own purpose, audience and visual world within EWTN Animation.
EWTN Animation aims to build a global, interdisciplinary creative community at Tordas Castle, where Catholic faith meets animation. It brings the 2,000-year story of the Gospel to life through new characters and a visual language the next generation understands.
CANA Awards is an international Catholic animation competition inviting creators to place artificial intelligence at the service of the human person, the Gospel, beauty and truth. Its five categories open new paths for sacred storytelling and evangelisation.
