‘My Special Place’ Family Friendly Filmmaking workshop with Minttu Mäntynen
10am Saturday 24th September, Isle of Tiree Distillery, Balephuil
What is your special place on the island? Is it a spot you can imagine a story taking place? Does it involve a special memory? Does it make you feel happy for some other reason? Maybe you can’t think of a place yet and will go on an adventure with your camera to find a new one.
We’ll start working together, looking at images and films for ideas. We’ll then do some practical fun exercises so you get grips with your camera and sound, before you head out to film a short scene. Combining our scenes together, we will make a film about your explorations of the island and everything that you find and share. You should bring any kind of device that can record video files – a smart phone will be just perfect. It would be helpful to have app that works as a voice recorder but this is not essential.

Moomins on the Riviera (U)
6pm Saturday 24th September, An Talla, Crossapol
Life in the valley is relatively calm for the Moomins and their friends in the forest. In search of a more exciting time the Moomins, along with Snorkmaiden and Little My, set sail across stormy seas, battling the elements until they reach the glamorous French Riviera. In this new luxurious location, a dazzling but expensive new lifestyle tempts the Moomins and their silly behaviour threatens to cause divisions in the family for the very first time.
This beautiful hand-drawn animation more closely resembles the original books than previous Moomin incarnations and focusses on the importance of family and learning to appreciate the simple things in life.
