What if a snowman could move, a painting came alive, or a shadow became a friend? These playful short films celebrate imagination and the magic of everyday moments.
Between the films, join a discussion about what you saw, then try suggested follow-up activities in the Museum’s galleries.
We will be joined by filmmaker Yali Herbet, who will discuss the making of the film My Shadow and Me in a special Q&A.
