Sea Stories is a beautiful short film co‑created by a group of talented young people, blending stop‑motion animation with immersive soundscapes to celebrate our deep connection to the sea. Developed through three hands‑on pre‑engagement workshops led by Unseen Arts, the project invited children to explore storytelling, creativity, and coastal identity through the magic of stop‑animation. The final film is a joyful, imaginative tribute to the ocean. Check it out via the link below
