Colour Box: Little Amelie

About Colour Box: Little Amelie

Driven by the joy and confusion of a little girl’s discovery of the world and her place within it, Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han’s astoundingly beautiful animation feels like it’s arrived from a different planet. 

In late 1960s Japan, toddler Amélie finds the world a peaceful, perplexing mystery until a rapturous encounter with chocolate ignites her wild sense of curiosity about…well, everything!

The drop-in workshop begins at 10am in the Deloitte Room and the relaxed film screening begins at 11am in the Cinema. Tickets are also available to see the film without the workshop.

  2. The focal point of the image is a large 18th-century portrait painting showing a well-dressed gentleman in period attire (powdered wig, ornate coat) holding what appear to be dead game birds - likely a hunting trophy portrait common among aristocracy of that era. The painting demonstrates the baroque or rococo style typical of European portraiture from that period. In the museum space, a man in contemporary casual clothing (dark sweater, light pants) stands looking at the painting, creating an interesting juxtaposition between past and present. In the background, another visitor can be seen viewing other artworks on the gallery walls.

  3. The image shows three people near a vehicle with its back door open: a man in casual attire (blue t-shirt and light pants) standing to the left, and what appears to be a couple in more formal dress sitting in the vehicle's cargo area. The person on the right is wearing an elaborate white dress that could be a wedding gown or formal costume piece. The setting sun creates warm, golden lighting across the arid terrain, with dramatic hills or badlands visible in the background.
