Have you seen the French film “City of Lost Children” from the mid-90s?

When I first saw small blurred photo of the Forts in an English newspaper in Morocco, straight away I thought about that film set around a small rusted oil rig where an old professor who has never dreamt kidnaps children to steal their dreams. Quite a beautiful film - Ricardo

Thought you might like to see a painting one of my little pupils has just finished. He’s just turned 8 and its in oils think its quite fun - Ricardo

Thanks to Ricardo Insua-Cao - Artist & Designer & Errol & Jean Sidelsky of South Africa for the pictures
