Session 1: A Home in Progress Film (31') 14/11 17.30 h

A Home in Progress Film is an independent educational project set up to produce group animation films. “We believe that in any creative process—and learning is certainly that—the main drive is the need to express something. Play and creativity are the keys for activating all learning processes. Our projects take the form of workshops in which participants produce a group film. AHIPF is made up of Rafa Castañer, Laura Ginès and Pepon Meneses.”

Freed from the usual demands and hierarchies of the film industry, SIFF embeds events, styles and programmes—experimental and narrative, recent and retrospective, Greek and international, workshops and expanded cinema performances—into the unique setting of this immersive dreamscape, allowing us to rethink the question “What is cinema?”
