A workshop in animation is taking place upstairs in the Studio Room at Newton Abbot Library today (Saturday, November 28), followed by the premiere of the behind-the-scenes look at Transition Newton Abbot’s work at the community garden at Baker’s Park. It marks the opening of the View From Here Film Festival and it is absolutely free.
“We wanted to make sure that everyone is included in this festival,” said Rae Hoole, community arts director at Coombeshead College, one of the partners organising the festival.
Lucy Jackson and Andy Coombes from Creative Workshops for Children UK are running the workshop and they have lots of experience introducing young and old alike to the joys of animating. They have worked all over the country offering workshops in animation and craft making activities.
“This is not their first visit to Newton Abbot,” said Celia Hadow of Teignbridge District Council, another partner in the festival, “but we are lucky to have attracted two of the best workshop leaders around to this year’s festival.”
After the family animation workshop, the first screening of a five-minute film will take place in the same building. Artist and filmmaker Volkhardt Muller has been working with Transition Newton Abbot while they documented the work carried about by the group at the community garden.
The View From Here runs form Saturday, November 28 until Friday, December 4.
