Peeking at the Neighbours

180 minutes

With simple cardboard boxes you can create a kinetic version of 'Rear Window'! Try it out in this workshop.

Peeking at the Neighbours

Aren't we all voyeurs who like to watch our neighbours from time to time? Ultimate example: Alfred Hitchcock's legendary classic Rear Window, in which we can spy on the occupants of an apartment complex together with James Stewart. And to be fair, such a building is the perfect setting for small and less small dramas. During this workshop, you can make up your own drama in a flat using a cardboard box! Add several flats together and you have the Kaboom 2024 version of Rear Window!

The aim of the workshop is to create a collaborative animated short film. Different teams work separately on their flats. What's going on inside? A cooking accident? A murder? A big fight? Alien struggling with the remote control of their television? A rabid dog wreaking havoc? Anyting goes! With cardboard boxes, characters and props, and learned animation techniques, the teams build their story. Bring each story together and you have a delightful doll's house full of drama!
