February 2024 - June 2024

           "Letter to the Fools" : "A man reads a letter to his childhood girlfriend, telling of a day he thought he had lost it in the crowd. We follow a little boy who is looking for his friend, making his way through a host of strange and entertaining characters like dancers, windmen, skeletons in a band, and others just as absurd."

The film is a short piece of folk art, hand-crafted with the participation of a local orchestra. He reminds us that even if life can be absurd and full of nonsense, some things matter, and for them we fight; and love always wins.

Made in KASK & Conservatorium, Ghent, Belgium 2024

Direction, puppets and original story: Arthur Steenhoudt

Voice: Eric Steenhoudt

Music: Fanfare Royale de la Police de Namur

Set also made with the help of: Le N'9 Créations

This film was a very joyfull journey made of meetings with brass band musicians. Inspired by Namur's folklore, belgian old history and a bit of my own imagination. It finally turnt almost to a video clip where characters are dancing, singing and playing score.

​

I really wanted to create a strange but simple story behind unique puppets. These were actually hard to animate because not that flexible.
