The other night I had a little whirlwind session exploring content on Vimeo and discovered some fantastic pieces of work , including this lovely short animation called Paraphernalia. It is a 3rd year film made by Sabrina Cotungo who is studying at The California Institute of the Arts – however her film was made at Gobelins, l’école de l’image in Paris. Sabrina Cotungo describes her film as The story of an anemic little recluse of a girl who makes a friend at the expense of her ceiling. Paraphernalia from Sabrina Cotugno on Vimeo . What strikes me about the little story is the openings it presents for a class to explore in terms of their narrative literacy unit, the questions that could be asked about the plot and the characters.
