In the 1980s, the young production company Atelier Graphoui set up workshops where children learned to make animated films. The initiative was more of a political gesture than an occupational activity. The result was a series of astonishing, playful films. Deploying a variety of techniques and free-writing, where documentary and the imaginary meet, these unfiltered films give expression to minority voices. Do children watch cartoons? From now on, they'll make them. Made with the help of Éric Dederen, who assisted their creation, the five collective films in this program highlight the work Graphoui has been developing with non-filmmakers for several decades.
