From 27 to 31 March, a technical day took place in the hospital wards of the Ledina Primary School at the Ljubljana Paediatric Clinic.
On this day, children and young people had the opportunity to watch four selected short films, create and learn about how an animated film is made. For the film Drops (Karsten Kjærulf-Hoop, Sarah Jungen, 2017), they made drops out of salt and watercolours and decorated the windows of the hospital rooms with them. For Spuffies (Jaka Ivanc, 2021), they used paper to make colourful trees with woolen gizmos. Alone in the Elevator (Anastasia Papadopoulou, 2020) took them on a journey to make a simple short animation using their mobile phones. They made a collage to accompany the funny film Fundamentals of Art (David Payne, 2020).
All the films with video tutorials are still available on the Film in the Hospital platform. All children and young people being treated in any hospital in Slovenia can get a free code to use it. Ask for the code at your hospital kindergarten or primary school or email us at ziva.jurancic@kinodvor.org.
Teachers from Ledina Primary School, Mateja Lukežič and Tina Lagler, and Blaž Miklič (OSM film) took part in Cinema Day in the Hospital.
