Finding Words - Stories of Discovery
'Finding Words - Stories of Discovery' is a series of three short stories animated to delight and enliven you. Discovery, solidarity, and generosity are the themes of these original pieces by members of Finding Words. All the writers are asylum seekers and refugees who have met regularly since 2019, supported by Freedom from Torture Bristol, to engage in creative writing and storytelling. These stories are original creations written and read by members of the Finding Words group. Each author explored various themes from which they developed their ideas, and subsequently used these ideas in collaboration with animator Lizzie Wheeler to imagine their vision for the films especially for the festival.
Testimonial
'Thank you so much Lizzie - You've done an amazing job in a short time. The colours and expressions are beautiful and the (apparent) simplicity allows the voices and words to be heard and enjoyed fully, and complemented. Great work.' - Fiona Hamilton, Writing Facilitator.
