From Poem to Storyboard

From Poem to Storyboard is a beginner workshop exploring how poetry can inspire visually driven storytelling, led by animation director Sofia El Khyari of Oneiris Animation. Drawing on her international experience, Sofia demonstrates how poetic language can be transformed into cinematic images and compelling narratives.

Key points include interpreting poetry into visual metaphors, creating mood through the interplay of sound and image, and developing a coherent visual style to serve the story. By the end of this workshop, participants will have created a complete storyboard based on a chosen poem and gained a practical framework for adapting literature into original animated narratives.
