exhibition about film by Jekino

Jekino organizes an exhibition about film before or after a film is shown in a cinema or arthouse. I am often guide during this exhibition.

Media and Animation Workshop

As closing activity to a project about media at the primary schools Stromenwijk, Beverburch and Cederhof in Middelburg, the Netherlands, I gave a workshop Animation.
For this workshop we made not only stopmotion and pixelation films, but we looked into the technique at a theoretical level as well.

Educate Animationfilm

Another connection I made in Brussels is Jekino. This organisation distributes films and educates film to the youth.
I work for them as a freelancer, giving workshops and small exhibitions where children can explore the medium animation film. It is great fun and Jekino creates a very nice working environment.

Workshop Kortfilm Filem'on Festival

My first network attempts in my new hometown Brussels led to working for a children's film festival called Filem'on.
Together with Nele Bauwens we gave a workshop in life-action short film to a group of 10 teenagers.
Within one morning we introduced the medium film, the children created a story and the set, where the children themselves did the acting and the camera work. In the afternoon Nele and I created the edit with a soundtrack (which was partly sung by the children). The equipment was organized by Filem'on.

Screening of animation at HAFF2009 and Cinestud2010

While I was in Tanzania, my animation 'C'est le ton qui fait la musique' was shown at the Holland Animation Film Festival in Utrecht, NL, in the student competition.
It was screened again in a sideprogram of the Klik! Festival at Cinestud in Amsterdam. This time I could enjoy seeing my animation in the cinema.

Illustration workshop at the primary school 'de Kring'

Following the national week of the children-book, I was asked to give an illustration workshop to five classes at 'de Kring', a primary school for special education (for children with speaking or hearing disorders and autism).
I made the children think of different genres in books and made them choose colors belonging to the emotions you experience reading such a book. After the children picked dark colors for the negative stories and bright colors for the positive stories, they made an illustration themselves, using either one of those chosen colors.
