Each year the Providence Children’s Film Festival offers children (and their parents) opportunities to learn firsthand technical skills used in filmmaking. This year two local animators, Annie Lavigne and Amy Lovera, return by popular demand to lead workshops in the basics of stop motion and cut paper animation. Stay tuned for other opportunities to learn about fillmmaking through PCFF.
