British UNIMA is excited to share an inspiring event hosted by our friends at UNIMA Norge as part of their Puppet Saturdays Lecture Series.
This session, titled “Kids, Cameras, and Puppets: How to Communicate with Puppets Through the Lens”, features acclaimed photographer Runar Blekken and director Maiken Marstrander — the creative duo behind the beloved Bo Bear universe. They'll be offering exclusive insights into the magical (and sometimes chaotic!) world of puppetry and filmmaking with preschool audiences.
Expect practical tips, behind-the-scenes tales, and creative approaches to engaging young viewers through live-action puppetry.
Whether you're a puppeteer, filmmaker, educator — or just fascinated by children’s media — this online talk is not to be missed.
