Animating History

Animating History is an innovative workshop program for youth that connects media literacy and storytelling with building a sense of community through the creative exploration of local history. Students work with a professional animator, learn “hands on” all parts of the animation process, and create a one-minute historical animated film.

Animating Oral Traditions

This program empowers Aboriginal youth in rural communities to conceive, plan, shoot, edit, and screen short animaited films that speak about their local history, language and culture. Our goal is to preserve and revitalize threatened Aboriginal languages and to provide a safe space to explore oral traditions and storytelling. This is a collaborative project, helping to create new media works from underrepresented voices.
