Filmproject in Ghana

The organisation Filem'on for whom I've been working in Brussels, surprised a Flemish colleague and me with a project documentary-film.
The two of us gave workshops docu-film to a small group of children of a youth center.

Purpose was that the children would create a film themselves during their stay in Ghana this summer. In fact they are musicians and they have had exchanges with Ghana before.
(Centrum West & the Fanfakids, at Sankofa orphanage, Eguafo, Ghana.)
Now they added a movie to the project, and my colleague and I went to Ghana to produce and guide the making of this film.

Result is 'You are invited' which consists out of four parts.

The film is screened in Brussels at the festival Filem'on and in Mechelen at the festival Making Movies November 2011.

During my stay in Eguafo, my colleague Nele and I gave workshops animation film and photography to the children of the Sankofa school.


workshops for Filem'on



Part of the festival week of Filem'on, I worked on a project with a group a children at a daycare called Ratatouille. The festival theme was 'anthropology in the kitchen' and thus we created our movies around food and eating. I co-operated with a designer, Caro, who did a workshop eatable design with the same group of children. We combined our workshops and these are the results.
