Birgit Weyhe (Hamburg): Sketching words and writing images – The dramaturgy of picture stories
Wednesday, May 6, 10am, Metropol 3 (4 hours // in English or German)
Telling a story creates a unique, self-contained world within which anything is possible. What structure does the story need in order to be readable? With a picture story, the classic tool of “storytelling” is explained. Afterwards, the participants have the opportunity to develop their own short stories from prepared pictures and text materials. These are then discussed together and dramaturgically condensed.

Sebastian Stobbe (Cologne): ANIMADOCS – Working with the paradox
Sunday, May 10, 10am, Metropol 3 (2 hours // in English)
While Animations commonly are perceived as worlds wholly imagined by its creators, most of us expect from Documentaries and their makers the exact opposite, i.e. to capture an authentic picture of the already existing world. The combination of the two genres and their specific way of working seems to be contradictory, but the growing number of successful Animadocs proves something different. Time to take a closer look at how Animadocs and their makers work.
Expenses per workshop: 25€ or with an accreditation
