The closing event of project, now in its fifth edition, consists in the screening of the films in the presence of the authors and their families, the teachers of the hospital school and the medical and paramedical personnel: a unique opportunity to watch the 12 films created during the 2016 workshop by the young patients.
During the evening, Bergamo Film Meeting will premiere a short film of the guest animator at BFM35!
Cartoons in wards is a project by Avisco Association in collaboration with Children’s Hospital of Brescia and it consists in offering to hospitalized children and youngsters, the opportunity to attend animation workshops in order to create their own cartoon using stop motion technique.
The Bill of rights of little girls and boys in hospital establishes that every sick child or adolescent has the right to receive an education. Furthermore, it is important and desirable to offer them the opportunity to attend non-formal education courses to bring them closer to art and culture, also using new technologies.
The audiovisual workshop is structured in order to create a exciting work area that can bring out the potentiality of young people through experiences designed to increase self-esteem, operating and expressive success and personal gratification.
