The workshop will be conducted in Polish.
The protagonist of this workshop is Gapiszon, and the theme revolves around "roots" and "mystery." We will explore the roots of Polish animation and discover the cartoons our grandparents used to watch. Participants will immerse themselves in the world of stop-motion animation, learning the entire creative process and the cutout animation technique. The final outcome will be a unique film crafted by the participants using the cutout technique. Depending on the group's dynamics, we will create either one collective film story or several individual short animations.
