Colour Box: The Imagination Emporium

Books and films have always made good bedfellows, with one often leading to the creation of the other. We'll be exploring this mutual inspiration in a programme of shorts that are either based on works of fiction, or gave birth to literary editions.

The selection includes the Academy Award-winning short animation The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (a wonderful film that sees books return their appreciation to those who care for them), the utterly endearing Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, and a delightful little film about everyone’s favourite deep sea diver, Jacques Cousteau.

We'll also be joined by artist Laura Kloss who will lead an origami notebook workshop between 1-3pm.

This event is part of a series of film events and activities at various green spaces around Coventry as part of August's CineCov film programme, presented by Flatpack in partnership with Coventry UK City of Culture's flagship programme Green Futures.
