FILM WORKSHOP: THE ZOETROPE

This workshop will offer children an opportunity to experiment and reflect on the importance of still images in cinema through the construction of a giant zoetrope. The zoetrope was a very popular toy in its time and one of the advances that enabled the emergence of cinema. The making of this toy will help to understand the nature of the moving image and optical illusions, how images are projected on the screen and to discover the possibilities of cinema as a game of magic. 

To attend, prior registration is required at the FICBUEU box office or via the following e-mail address: mariarey@ficbueu.com.
