My first online workshop with children from a primary school in Anklam started in June.

So we met in September in Anklam and spent three great days where the children could finish their films they started in June. This online – offline combination was really great.

Film workshops 2015
New workshop film finished. This time Hansel and Gretel. You don’t have to understand German I think:

This film was realized with children around the age of 8 and 9 during a stop motion workshop in Berlin. In five days the children built the set and wrote the screenplay. One month later another group of children of the same age worked on the animation, the songs and sound design.
And for me it was the first time to edit in Lightworks. It worked well and was fun.

17th of November at Berliner Stadtbibliothek, Berlin-Saal at 18:00 reading by Jaroslav Rudiš and screening of the workshop film ‘Jestli se nebojíš tak pojď’ / ‘Komm mit, wenn Du Dich traust’ by sleeping tiger. Discussion about the 17th of November and Velvet Revolution.
