The
workshop was held from June 17th to 24th and brought together children
from several places in Croatia from the clubs which
were awarded at annual Croatian Children Film Festival and four girls
from Italian town Monfalcone.
During one week of common work, with the help of experienced animators: FUSAKO
YUSAKI from Milan (Italy), and DANIEL ŠULJIĆ, a
young Croatian animator who lives in Vienna, they realized two short animated
films.
The first group, working with Ms. Fusako, created film FLUTE, in technique of clay
animation and second one, with help of Daniel did JOKES ON THE GLASS, a film
made in specific technique of oil paint drawings on glass.
As usually, during the week, young participants of the workshop had possibility
to see two interesting screenings: one with films of Fusako Yusaki and Daniel
Šuljić and one where the films from the workshop were shown, together with new
ŠAF films.
All guests and ŠAF members spent one day at traditional picnic, organized at
beautiful premises in St. Martin on Mura.
