Clip of the Week
"2009 Punto y Raya Festival: Workshop for Kids" (2009) by Laboratorium, V. Sastre, and mad-actions

Watch a clip from the 2009 Punto y Raya Festival's "Many Meters of Film" workshop for elementary school students led by Laboratorium and V. Sastre who spread the love of the dot and line with a simple camera set-up, a laptop, and artistic vision supplied by an energetic class with paper and paint.

Start the clip from the beginning to see how the films were made or skip to 7:43 to see the finished works from the adolescent masters of abstract animation.
