Through the vast experience of Anne Lalancette, puppeteer and filmmaker from Montreal, and in the style of the shows “Arctic Tall Tales” from her company La ruée vers l’or and “The Storyville Mosquito” where she performs along Kid Koala, the participants will be invited to create their own short film, from foam scraps and miscellaneous objects. In this 5 days workshop, they will do some exploration, adapt one of their own stories, write a script, draw a storyboard, learn how to use cameras and lighting equipment, shoot, foley and edit their very own short film.
