Animated films made by children
Slon Association for Film Education
Since 2019, I’ve been a mentor with the Slon Association for Film Education.
The association is dedicated mainly to animated film. Together with children, we create short animated films – most often using stop motion. Our films travel the world, finding their place at children’s film festivals near and far.

Fairy Tale Studio is a laboratory project at Vodnikova domačija in Šiška, designed to foster storytelling skills in children. In this project, children develop their skills in telling and inventing their own stories. One of these stories, The Mouse and the Rainbow, was transformed into an animation.
