Paper-cut Animation, Belgium, 5’18”, 2014. Created by 12 x 8-12-year-old children under the supervision of Louise-Marie Colon & Dominique Van Hecke at Camera-etc.
Once upon a time, there was a king who sewed while watching the snow fall. One day, he had a child and named him Flake White… This familiar Grimm Bros’ fairy tale got a 21st century make-over with gender role switching by kids in Belgium!

About Camera-etc Animation Studio
Camera-etc was created in 1979 for the purpose of making and producing short animated films. Recognized as Production Workshop and Centre for Expression and Creativity of the French-speaking Community of Belgium, Camera-etc organises creative group workshops for children, young people and adults in Belgium and in other countries.
A highly developed sector, animated films are nevertheless rarely used as socio-cultural tool. Camera-etc produces around twenty short films a year that are educational as well as socializing projects carried out in schools, local social welfare agencies (CPAS), neighbourhood associations, NGOs etc. It’s work that enables participants to find new means of expression.
Besides workshop films, Camera-etc supports professional creation by producing art house works.
