If you are the kind of boy or girl who not only loves to go to the cinema, but who is also eager to learn about the behind-the-scenes aspects of filmmaking, you should visit the European Youth Film Festival! The festival is the place to be to perform stunts, create animated films, act and use special effects. During Studio Creation we will present the artistic creations made by our workshop participants, so come and enjoy it!

Shadow Dolls
Workshop related to film screenings at the Ecohuis
Ages 3-12
Has it ever happened to you that you were afraid of your own shadow at night? Huge creatures suddenly appear out of nothingness and are suddenly reduced to teeny-weeny things. In this workshop we will initially use our hands, our body and a lamp. Then we will create our own dolls and setting and bring magic fairy tales to life on the screen.
In cooperation with MOOSS
Stop Motion Animation
Workshop related to film screenings at the Ecohuis
Ages 3-12
Isn’t it unbelievably exciting that you can make a beautiful film with disposable materials? Come and join us and be dumbfounded by the fact that the cup of yoghurt you threw in the dustbin this morning starts to lead a life of its own.

Pelle
Workshop related to Pelle The Police Car
Ages 4-6
Wee-oo! Wee-oo! Wee-oo! We are following Pelle the police car! Do you remember the names of the characters in the film? By means of all kinds of funny objects we will look for the characters and story lines. We will use our voices and instruments as tools to create our own soundtrack. We will easily become acquainted with the basic principles of creating animated films, experiment with the camera and make our own police cars move around.

My Personal Film Poster
Ages 4-6, accompanied by an adult
This is a combination of painting and printing. We will take your own photograph as a starting point and combine it with recycled materials. The creations are always unique and get a graphic touch. First you draw your picture on a plate with an ink roller and a paint brush and then we print it on paper. And there you are!
