Event

How is movement created in an image? How do you make a movie?
This new workshop series, consisting of six different workshops, explores pre-cinematic toys—from the wonder disc and the optical illusion device to the wheel of life—as we examine our own perception and experiment with various ways to create the illusion of movement. We’ll learn how to animate individual images. This will result in short “films” that participants can take home or have displayed at the Wolf Kino. Two workshops on a single theme will be held each month.

In October, we’ll be exploring the optical illusion known as the “phenakistoscope”: Using abstract shapes, we’ll create pulsating movements in several phases on a disc. The result is fascinating rotating objects that can be viewed through mirrors to reveal their magic.

Repeat session on October 24
