Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival brings you "Meet the Filmmakers" episode “Twinkle Twinkle Little Elephant”. Interview with director Meikeminne Clinckspoor, interviewer Heli Jürisson.
Join us as we peel back the layers behind these questions:
1. Why make films for children?
2. What is it like to work with young actors and navigate the restrictions that come with it?
Take part in the conversation and uncover the insights behind Meikeminne’s creative world.
Meikeminne Clinckspoor is a screenwriter and director known for her work in children’s television and cinema. She has been nominated for the Kids Emmy and Prix Jeunesse for “Doopie” and has received awards, including the ECFA Award at BUFF Barnfilmfestivalen and Filmfest Munich, as well as Best International Film at the Boston International Kids Film Festival for works like “Ki⽊” and “Cloudboy”.
This film, inspired by a Belgian children’s song, follows two girls who get lost in the woods. The story gently explores themes of sisterhood, differences among people and finding one’s place within a family.
