Get your hands on the magic of filmmaking! In this interactive, open-house experience, kids and families will draw, collage, and create their own films on real celluloid. Rotate through playful workshop stations—Lights, Creation, Action—and see how images come to life on screen.
Designed for ages 5–105, this tactile program celebrates creativity, Cleveland’s film legacy, and the art of handmade filmmaking. Drop in anytime and leave with a piece of your very own film.

Spin, watch, and wonder! At this station, families use a zoetrope and carousel animation to see how a series of still images magically come to life as motion.
