Synopsis

*Children Who Draw* examines the subtle dynamics among schoolchildren in an art class by continuously contrasting observational black-and-white portraits of the children with colorful, lyrical sequences that depict their imaginative and expressive paintings. Using color as a means to convey the children's inner worlds and as a method for deeper psychological exploration, Hani lets his camera move freely over the drawings, "de-framing" and engaging with the artwork in a style reminiscent of Alain Resnais.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
