Sound + Vision Animation Workshops

I am hosting, along with Pádraig Fagan, two stop-motion workshops and one thaumatrope workshop as part of the Sound + Vision Music Film Festival, which runs from 16th-27th of November.

The festival is organised by the Model in Sligo in co-operation with Cinema North West.

Here's some info about the festival:

This exciting new festival features concert films, musical documentaries, films which popularised major movements in music history, films defined by their soundtracks and landmark moments of musical and cinema history. We also have a special children’s programme with dress-up and sing along family screenings and animation workshops.
