Young Charlotte: Filmmaker

Charlotte feels different from other children because she is not that fond of colours – she sees the world in black and white and she adores it. She is a young film director and she prefers Lotte Reiniger’s fabulous animations or Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves to any superhero saga. She feels that only her cat Smudge, the star in her films, can understand her. So how can her parents best help her with her great passion? By spending time with her, having fun and finding out a whole lot of new things. Charlotte’s parents take her every Sunday to a museum in their city, which has a whole section devoted to films. Not just any old museum – here we are talking about MoMA in New York. Here young Charlotte will be able to make one of her greatest dreams come true. A story for all ages that emerged from cooperation between the museum itself and Frank Viva, the famous illustrator for the New Yorker. La piccola Charlotte filmaker, Frank Viva, MoMA e Fatatrac, 2015
