ATTENTION: A MUST FOR KIDS INTERESTED IN VIDEO GAMES AND ANIMATION…. AND ISN’T THAT ALL OF THEM? TALK TO THE CAST AND CREW AND EXPERIENCE THE INTERACTIVE NEOMAD COMIC BOOK AFTER THE SCREENING.
Deep in the Pilbara desert of Western Australia, an unlikely group of 11-year olds create the world’s first Aboriginal interactive comic book, NEOMAD. In the real world, they are seen as troublemakers; problem kids with too much energy and nothing to do. But when arts company Big hART come to town, the kids seize the opportunity to show the world who they really are. How do we get to Space? captures the arguments, pranks, computer wizardry, and grand fantastical vision as the young artists create their own epic sci-fi adventure, taking them from their small town to the neon lights of South Korea’s Bucheon International Comics Festival.
The session will be interactive and kids will have the chance to be involved after watching the brief HOW DO WE GET TO SPACE? film.
HOW DO WE GET TO SPACE? is a Big hART project and is presented in partnership with BOFA 2016.
