Description
Every last Saturday of the month, from 10.30am to 1pm, children between five and twelve years old discover non-commercial kids movies. The films are selected for their quality and originality. In the creative environment of Wiels Centre for Contemporary Art, short films, innovative fictions, animation classics are screened. Parents who wish to attend the screenings are also welcome! After the movie a bilingual workshop (approximately 1 hour) allows children to unwind their imagination around the theme of the film. Participants experiment with different artistic disciplines, while a creative and sensitive approach to Dutch is also stimulated.
