SHADOW PUPPETS FILMMAKING WORKSHOP For children from 9 to 15 years of ageWhere did the first storytelling come from? Shadow puppetry could be imagined to come from the days of caveman paintings and the paintings themselves were just what was left behind from the Storytelling shadows they cast against the walls of the cave. Filmmaking itself incorporates all of the arts and stories which came before. So how better to learn the craft of filmmaking than through using shadow puppetry. The workshop is for children from 9 to 16 years of age and will provide an introduction to the filmmaking process – from finding the story, making the puppets, structuring the ideas, shooting the film, making the soundtrack, editing and finally watching the finished film on the big screen. The course will be run by Damian Barnecutt, a recent National Film & Television School graduate, and other industry professionals will be there to help. The workshops will take place from Tuesday 15 to Friday 18 February in the Rio basement from 10am to 5pm daily. The whole course costs just £5. Priority will be given to Hackney residents. Residents of other boroughs are welcome to apply and will be offered any remaining places. The Rio basement is fully accessible. Entry to the course is by a simple application on the reverse of this form and must be received by the Rio Cinema no later than 12 noon on 7 February. We will contact successful applicants no later than the 9 February and the course fee of £5 will be payable on the first day of the workshop. A do it yourself step-by-step filmmaking shadow puppetry workshop pack, will also be available on the Rio web site to download at the beginning of the scheduled shadow puppets filmmaking workshop.
