In 19th-century England, Mary is a young girl who is passionate about fossils, which she searches for with her father on the beach and then sells to tourists. The sudden death of her father throws the family into turmoil: without a source of income, they will soon have to leave their home and, worse still for Mary, her beloved fossil beach. But before he died, her father left her a mysterious message that could lead her to turn many things upside down.

How to create short animated sequences using the paper cut-out technique
12 places – booking required
Duration 45 minutes
Facilitator: Elphège Berthelot
During this workshop, children are invited to discover the principle of animated images! Participants will be able to deepen their encounter with the world of film through an introduction to one of the techniques of animated cinema: paper cut-outs! To do this, we will use cut-out silhouettes and a dedicated application. Everyone will then be able to give free rein to their imagination to create, independently and without limits!

Thelma is different from the other penguins in the Land of Ice: she doesn't like snow, cold weather, or icy water; she also dreams of being able to fly... All this is probably because she was raised in the Great Forest by a cat, Vilhem, and a mouse, Sophia. As her fifth birthday approaches, Thelma decides to celebrate with her friends. But just as she begins to fear that her birthday will never come, she embarks on an adventure that will help her discover the value of being true to herself. Being a penguin isn't so bad after all!
