CAVIA'S ANIMATION NIGHT
The Wolfwalkers + Animation Workshop
Animation is one of the cinematic art forms more able to bring together different experiences and generations, enchanting both the younger and older as it goes about creating magical worlds.
For the closing of Moons we start early with an animation workshop, led by Neyshme Yanarico and Letitia Evers, where participants will be able to create their own characters and to see them come to life, transforming into a real animator for one day.
Following that, we will see how some of the best in the game do it, with a screening of Oscar-nominated feature The Wolfwalkers, by award-winning studio Cartoon Saloon, one of the most innovative and interesting realities of European animation today.
Come by early to hang out in our garden, while we serve some great food from Amsterdam famous community kitchen De Sering. Prices on donation!
TEXTURED STORYTELLING AND CHARACTER DESIGN
Workshop by Neyshme Yanarico and Letitia Evers
Are you, or someone you know, interested in animation and wondered; “how do they do it?” Then join us for this workshop as we guide you through the process of animation and help you create your very own animated sequence! Our goal is to show those who are intrigued but aren’t sure where or how to start exactly how accessible animation can be—No need for expensive materials or exclusive tools! The workshop will be centered around a simple yet surprisingly versatile method of animating: Paper cutout stop-motion. Here you’ll learn that even with just paper, scissors and a phone you can turn your imagination into moving art!
The workshop will be guided by Neyshme and Letitia, two artists with a degree in 2D animation, who are eager to introduce you to the world of animating, by taking the time to go through the step-by-step of creating a stopmotion piece. Starting from an idea for a design, you will tell a story with the help of a storyboard putting your creativity and effort into creating something beautiful and made with your own imagination and hands!
Join us for an afternoon spent learning, creating and enjoying the art of paper cutout animation! All you need to bring with you is a phone (with ‘APP’ installed, a free tool that will help bring your art to live) and of course your enthusiasm to learn something new!
We hope to see you there!
N.B. No prior experience needed!

THE WOLFWALKERS
Tomm Moore, Ross Stewart | 2020 | France, Ireland, Luxembourg, USA, China | 102’ | English, NL subtitles
In a time of superstition and magic, when wolves are seen as demonic and nature an evil to be tamed, a young apprentice hunter comes to Ireland with her father to wipe out the last pack. But when she saves a wild native girl, their friendship leads her to discover the world of the Wolfwalkers and transform her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.
DE SERING
Throughout the evening, food will be provided by De Sering, the famous community kitchen founded in Amsterdam West.
De Sering was founded on the belief that strong communities are essential for activism and progress, and that an affordable meal is the perfect way to bring people together, allowing for the material conditions that allow people to participate in society, politics, and activism. Their aim is to expand and build a network of sociocratically organised locations led by participants, fostering community and addressing loneliness and hunger. Beyond cooking and serving food, they plan to offer services like childcare and educational courses to make activism and politics more accessible.
Full programme:
15:30 | Doors open
16:00 | Animation workshop (until 19:00)
