Colourful, imaginative, intriguing, amusing and moving – short films for ages 8 plus and adults to enjoy.
Event Description
Film Fridays: Family Film
Colourful, imaginative, intriguing, amusing and moving. These films are from France, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico and the UK with a mix of styles ranging from watercolour, cut outs, stop-motion, hand-drawn and 2D computer animation. Equally diverse are the array of stories, which promise to entertain and enchant children and adults alike.
In one film water dances through this world and flows at its perfect rhythm, until a hand interrupts that journey. There are stories of little girls whose imaginations take them to fantastic places; one absorbed by a book that becomes a forest of printed knowledge while the other’s drawings magically come to life, helping her to process difficult emotions. There are also stories of children whose connection to animals (a rat and a crab) help them understand something significant about themselves. And in a summer campsite, a little boy laughs at couples kissing on the mouth just like the other kids do; however, he secretly wants to give it a try.
Most films are dialogue free; one is in French and one has a brief line of poetry in Spanish.
Running time of films: 1 h
Plus workshop activities.
