THINKING IN CARDBOARD SHORT FILMS

 A core outcome of the Thinking in Cardboard mentorship programme was the production of a cardboard model by each of the six teams of mentees. Each model was integral to the mentorship programme and culminated in the creation of a short film. The materiality, form, style and tone of these films are also informed by, and developed through the cardboard models themselves, with a single poem also serving as a conceptual point of departure for each. As such, each film can be seen as a world in miniature, constructed from and intertwined with the models, the final works being brought to life through traditional film, animation, projection, layering and more.
