An hour and fifteen minutes on an unknown planet: Earth rediscovered on a scale of one centimetre. Its inhabitants: fantastic creatures, insects and other animals of grass and water. Its landscapes: impenetrable forests, tufts of grass, dewdrops as big as balloons... A country where animals know how to walk on water, how to walk upside down or how to fall without damage from a hundred times their height, stopped only by the resistance of the air... In this world, the hourglass of time speeds up: an hour for a day, a day for a season... A journey from the inside, as if the spectators were the size of an insect.

The Microcosmos studio proposes that families get together in a relaxed session where cinema and creation take place simultaneously. They will discover together the planet of the smallest bugs that live among us, the insects, in the grass and in puddles, while they sketch, create and invent together a scenario of drawings, frames and fantastic creatures.

The workshop has free admission and is intended for children over 6 years old. It will be guided by Inês Azevedo and Joana Mateus, from Manuel Leão Foundation's Casa da Imagem, an artistic and educational centre, where visual literacy can be learned and explored by the community. Participation requires registration through the email: melanie@portopostdoc.com.
