Only spectators who have purchased tickets can participate in the workshop. The educational program does not cost extra.
Registration for the workshop is now closed.
Thirteen animated stories will take the little ones to a colorful world full of play and adventure. Here they will meet a cheerful octopus and an aquarium keeper, a down-on-his-luck art thief and a girl learning to ride a bicycle. The piglet will try to teach the cow to skate, and the chameleon will save himself from funny situations. Humorous cartoons will delight you not only with funny stories, but also with a variety of animation styles. The program is made in cooperation with the Kaboom Animation Film Festival (Netherlands).
The program was prepared by "little programmers" - elementary school students aged 7-10 who are interested in cinema. Accompanied by professional film curators and educators, they selected films relevant to them. "Little Programmers" is part of the initiative of the European film festival network "Young4Film", inspired by the international project "Moving Cinema", partially financed by the MEDIA sub-programme of the EU program "Creative Europe".
