TSF has successfully completed two weeks of research and development on its Golden Conch Shell Project with Patricia Bergeron of Montreal company Théâtre À l’Envers and Zannie Fraser from Luminous Tales from Norwich. Our intention was to integrate live action and movement into our original animated film made during Lockdown 2020 and shown online.
language : English
The Golden Conch Shell is a story for our times, based on West African folklore blended with elements of Hans Christian Andersen. Serena and Billy are two siblings trying to find their voice in the contemporary world. Their adventures take them down to the very depths of the sea where they meet the sea goddess Mami Wata and her army of sharks. How will they use their talents and ingenuity to escape Mami Wata’s clutches and return home safely? The film is suitable for children aged 5-10 years and their families and features shadow puppetry and original music.
The Golden Conch Shell premiered in English at Forum Cinema Hexham in august 2020 and in French at the Montreal International Children’s Film Festival (FIFEM) in March 2021.
