The Little Fish and the Crocodile

This short film was created through a series of educational exchanges, in order to encourage kids to draw from the elements of nature,

Over the course of several workshops, the children in this film progressed from initial character creation, to story development and film production. All creative content, including art direction and stage design has come from the children themselves. Adorned in costumes made from elements of their home, the children are the protagonists in their own adaptation of this traditional Congolese fable.

The Little Fish and the Crocodile was featured and awarded in more than a dozen international film festivals, including winning at the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival. It was also shown in several museum installations, including the Barberini Museum & Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle, was featured in a segment on PBS Newshour, and continues to be shared on digital festivals for kids all over the world.
