Atelier Graphoui
Atelier Graphoui is a Brussels-based collective of filmmakers, an audiovisual production studio, and a creative center. For more than forty years, they have been building an impressive catalog of (animation) films, documentaries, and commercials. The atelier combines a professional approach with an open and inclusive working method. For them, film is a means of giving a voice to people who are often not heard in our society. In the 1980s, for instance, they made collective animation films with children from Brussels. These films are the result of a cross-pollination between audiovisual and plastic arts. The resulting timeless gems are unique examples of an open and free creative process and the magic of collaboration.
