Description
Every last Saturday of the month, from 10am 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.
This month, we are happy to present real gems from the cinema for toddlers, which look at life on and under the water:
- Rybka (Sergei Ryabov, RUS, 2007, non spoken, 10')
A wonderful animated film handmade with collages, about the miraculaous love of a little boy for a fish
- Riff (Eric Steegstra, NL, 2008, non spoken, 12')
Two divers discover a colorful underwater world, which inhabitants behave like wire puppets
- Katakombo (Michale Zamjatnins, D, 2008, non spoken, 7 ')
A girl loses her goldfish in the sewer and goes on a search.
- Youssou, the child of the water (Camera Children Allowed, B, 2003, non spoken, 7 ')
A charming little film made by children about the importance of water in African villages.
Workshop: Creative Relaxation
A very smooth workshop, in which pictures and stories drawn from the underwater world invite us to relax in our own space. We will also practice yoga postures inspired by aquatic animals!
