1^st-2^nd November 2014

The Centre Pompidou in Paris will play host to animaBIRIKI for a special event -“mini-party”- over the weekend of 1^st-2^nd November.

In the Forum at the entrance to the Museum and in two dedicated rooms, children will have a chance to immerse themselves in the natural and harmonious world of animaBIRIKI through workshops, projections and the world premiere of the “Nubolaria” installation.

“Nubolaria”, the modern optical ‘pre-cinema’ machine for animaBIRIKI will allow children to discover the tricks of animation, playing with the two main characters against the background of the cartoon.

In parallel with the projection of episode one, “Biriki and the Rainbow”, the children can create characters and stories for the television series project.

june 2014 / march 2015

The Education Office of Amnesty International Italia will be accompanying animaBIRIKI to remote, outlying areas in a project that will involve schools and communities.

The first leg will take place at a school in the Ponticelli suburb of Naples, a place with a rich history, today abandoned to environmental and social decay.

Subsequently, animaBIRIKI alongside Amnesty International will reach Sicily and Lampedusa.

15^th-22^nd November 2014

Following the weekend at the Centre Pompidou, animaBIRIKI flies to the Castellinaria festival for children and young people in Bellinzona (Switzerland).

The projection of the short film “Biriki and the Rainbow” will be accompanied by a series of workshops for children designed and led by the two authors, Bruna Ferrazzini and Ilaria Turba, which will be held in Castelgrande and at the Museum in Erba.

Nubolaria will be installed in a dedicated space as part of the exhibition “The Origins of Cinema” in the splendid setting of Castelgrande, open from 15^th to 30^th November.
