Free event for all ages. Advance registration is recommended.
Internationally renowned animator Steven Woloshen returns to VTIFF with his much-loved animation workshop! Woloshen is an award-winning Canadian film animator and a pioneer of drawn-on-film animation techniques. Steve also teaches at the National Film Board of Canada. In this workshop, you’ll be given a film strip, and you can choose whatever tools and materials you’d like to decorate it and tell a mini-story. Join us as we explore multiple approaches to camera-less filmmaking and discover new ones along the way. Scratch, paint, or collage the surface of your leader, which might be black, clear, or previously shot footage! The goal is simply to explore, play, and take risks with animation. After the workshop, all our strips will be strung together and digitized so that we can present the full story of our adventures in animation during the festival! This activity is open to everyone and all ages
