CROSSMEDIA EXTENSION
Short film
Produced by: Eaglet Films
Country/Region: UK

An extraordinary adaptation of Quentin Blake’s illustrated book that transfers the author’s visual language sensitively and faithfully into an animated short film that boosts the emotional power of the original work. The humour of the story, the original illustrations enriched by new animated backdrops, and the fast-paced narrative all combine to create a memorable experience that will move young and old alike.

CROSSMEDIA EXTENSION
Play Museum
Developed by: L’école des Loisirs
Country/Region: FRANCE 

An enchanted place where children’s books are transformed into a physical, sensory and collective experience, offering children – and the adults who accompany them – a whole new way to engage with their favourite characters. In a space that is much more than a museum, play areas, storytelling sessions, cinema and a bookshop all come together to make books a community asset to be enjoyed together. A model that every city should adopt.

CROSSMEDIA EXTENSION
Film, web platform, workshops
Produced by: Red Dog Culture House (film)
Country/Region: Corea del Sud

A participatory project that places children at the centre of the story, recognising boredom as a driver of the imagination and their drawings as seeds for new worlds. The use of artificial intelligence – deployed as a tool for amplifying rather than replacing creativity – to animate children’s illustrations and translate them into films and digital exhibitions is a happy and significant example of technology at the service of imagination. A beautiful story that continues to multiply beyond the bounds of any linear narrative.

CROSSMEDIA EXTENSION
Web platform
Produced by: Biblioteca del congreso de la Nación
Country/Region: Argentina

A valuable cross-media project focused on preserving indigenous languages in South America through songs, poems and artistic expressions of extraordinary vitality. The decision to make the internet a permanent memory bank restores dignity and a future to cultures destined for oblivion along with their significant linguistic value, a heritage on which to build a layered and profound identity.
