Does George Shrinks have a Dutch counterpart? Maybe, but most likely not. A little man named Wiplala is found in a cupboard one night and he has magical powers that sends the young Johannes (who discovers him) and his family into a strange adventure. This action-packed live-action tale is sure to entertain viewers of all ages!
This film has been touring ever since its been made in 2014, and as small and unnoticed this story is to North American audiences, this product has found its way to Victoria for a special screening during FilmCAN, an online video competition for young aspiring filmmakers. This movie will be screened with the winner of this contest’s junior category (grade 8 and under) and in the senior category (grade 9-12) is Tanna, an aboriginal tale about two doomed lovers from warring tribes living in a remote village on the Oceanic island of Vanuatu. If this sounds like Romeo & Juliet, then the tale is universal, but this time its set in an exotic, far off land. This movie is worth an investigation!
