WORKSHOP: Diorama Dreams - with Artist Facilitator Esther Marshall
One of the most interesting aspects of Robot Dreams are it’s rich backgrounds and foregrounds, in this case. The setting of New York City is a character too. The locations often take priority over the main characters, giving insight into the lives surrounding our heroes! Echoing these interesting decisions, we’ll create dioramas and pop-up paper scenes to learn about world building, composition and how adding depth adds intrigue. In this session, the characters will come last!
Our affordable charity cafe-bar with refreshments and popcorn will be open throughout.
This film is rated PG, for more guidance please check the BBFC website.
Relaxed screenings are designed to create a more comfortable and accessible cinema experience for individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, or other needs that make traditional cinema settings challenging. These screenings involve adjustments like low lighting and freedom to move around, encouraging a more relaxed atmosphere.
