A playful journey through film history
During this lively tour, your students enter the world of the very first filmmakers. They will explore, in an engaging and interactive way, how cinema began and evolved into the films they know today. Through fun assignments, experiments, and the use of real film techniques, they gather clues to eventually reveal a hidden film.
Will your class manage to complete the mission? If so, a unique film experience from the early years of cinema awaits them.
