Curious (But True)

Roller skating whales on Mars. In film, anything can happen that is impossible in real life. Even though you know it isn’t true, you still laugh, cry or shriek with horror. That’s what the power of film is all about.

Visible and invisible

The students watch four remarkable short films. In one film, the main character is invisible, yet as a viewer, you know exactly how they feel. In another film, we only see the underside of a trampoline, yet it's incredibly funny. How is that possible? What makes it work?

Together with the museum educator the pupils investigate, on the basis of assignments and viewing questions, how filmmakers take them into the story. They discover the impact of camera, music, light, sound and special effects. They become aware of visual language through the assignments given to them by the museum educator.

Essential skill

Schoolchildren are used to watching films and thinking about the story. But what do you see when you look closer? Pupils will learn to look even better on the basis of viewing questions, hands-on assignments and dialogue.
