Animation workshop for youth

This is a Council led event.

03/05/2025 - Hurstville Museum & Gallery

Have you ever tried animation? Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, this is your chance to dive into the magic of animation!

Celebrating this year’s Heritage Festival theme, ‘Unearthed’, during this workshop participants will collaborate to animate a story their grandparents may have once told them. Guided by our current Artist in Residence, Marco Belli, this workshop invites us to empower younger generations as custodians of culture and tradition.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore a new creative technique in a fun and supportive environment. No experience needed and all materials provided. 

This program is for youth aged 12 to 17 years old.

About the artist: Marco Belli (Milan, 1993) attended the LAS U.Boccioni school, Milan, obtaining a diploma in figurative arts, the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, painting section, and the Luchino Visconti Civic School in Milan.

In 2021 he realised the animations for “Viaggio nel crepuscolo”, coordinating a team of animators to create over 90 minutes of animation. The film was invited to the Official Selection Out of Competition at the Venice Film Festival in 2021, as well as Rotterdam, Trieste and other festivals. Between 2022 and 2024, he directed a team of animators to create the animations for Cineparallax's next two feature films: “Strade nella Malerba” and "Uno Spazio Bianco". In conjunction with Heritage Festival.
