Filmmagie: Draw your own filmstrip
Discover the magic of cinema with these five, short animations. After the programme children can make their own 16 mm film by drawing on, perforating or sticking things onto film strips.

Programme

Dancin' the Camera (Pieter Rim de Kroon, NL 2015)
Dance film about a tap dancer who makes a journey of discovery through the mechanical world of black & white film. The camera functions as camera, backdrop and character. The camera and a pianist try to seduce the tap dancer into a duet.

Le six soeurs dainef (unknown, FR 1902)
Coloured short silent film from 1902 featuring six female acrobats known as 'Les reines du tapis' performing remarkable feats on stage.

Chigago Footwarmers (Ton van Saane, NL 1967)
Abstract forms drawn directly onto celluloid move to the jazz of the Chicago Footwarmers.

Schoenmaten (Quita Felix, NL 2022)
When a tap dancer loses one of his tap shoes, his chaotic search for them takes on ever more extreme forms. We see all of these in this unusual animation.

Surprise Boogie (Albert Pierru, FR 1957)
Experimental short film featuring scratches and drawings made directly onto the film strip creating abstract and figurative images accompanied by uplifting jazz.

Workshop Draw your own filmstrip (30')
After the film programme, children can create their own 16 mm film by working directly on celluloid; drawing on it, puncturing it and affixing things to it.
All children must be accompanied. Filmmagie is not suitable for children’s parties.
