Behind the scenes of the International Writing Residency Program of NEF Animation

Some images and special moments I lived last month during the International Writing Residency Program of NEF Animation, which is hosted and coproduced by the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud.

I have no words to express how grateful I am. I feel that sometimes pictures are better than words.

This is the story wall of my short film project Mes maisons volantes (My flying houses) I created during the one-month residency.

It's time to leave...but I accomplished one of the most important steps in making a film: write the plot !

"Mes maisons volantes" at the International Writing Residency of Nef Animation

I'm in with MES MAISONS VOLANTES (My flying houses) short film project for The International Residency for Animated Films of NEF Animation which is hosted and coproduced by the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud.

A dream comes true !

A glance at the exhibition "Mes Maisons Volantes (My Flying Houses)"

I'm very happy to share some moments of the exhibition Mes Maisons Volantes, that took place from June 9 to 12 at the Maison de l'Ange in Châteaubriant.

With great joy I was finally able to unveil the work done during the residency and the pandemic lockdown : the stop motion animations and the flying houses made during the workshops, the animation tests for the short film, the drawings and of course, all the responses I received from my survey: "What's a flying house?" lunched in Avril 2020. Thanks again to all those who took part in it !

On this occasion, the work of another artist, Solweig Von Kleist, also invited to the animation film residency on the territory of Châteaubriant-Derval, was exhibited. Together we did a very good job creating a charming exhibition and offering a welcoming atmosphere.
