With this workshop, we invite children to create their own films in the magical world of cinema… Together with the children, we will examine the earliest examples of the laterna magica and zoetrope, considered the ancestors of the movie camera, and then visit the toys of Charlie Chaplin, the unforgettable actor of the silent film era. Then, with the sound era, color films, and special effects works, we will continue our journey through cinema history up to the present day. In this workshop, where we will learn that cinema is a great team effort, we will get to work to shoot our first film. We will design our characters using waste materials and then shoot a stop-motion film where everyone plays their own character. When the workshop is over, the footage shot will be edited and sent to the participants via the internet.
