Cinemini | Together: A Magical Cinematic Experience

Children aged 2 to 6 embark on their first cinema adventure in our cozy screening room. Join us on Sunday mornings for Taartrovers Cinemini, a unique program where kids immerse themselves in films and play within a beautiful landscape of light. During Taartrovers Cinemini, we showcase charming, exciting, abstract, narrative, and sometimes challenging short films, specially curated for toddlers and preschoolers. After the film, children will play together in a light landscape, made up of various installations that encourage playful exploration of how light can create stories. They will investigate shapes, projection, light, shadow, narratives, movement, and color. How do shadows form? Where do images come from? How do shapes grow larger or smaller and vanish into thin air? What stories can they see in these shapes? For adults, shadows may seem ordinary, but for children, it may be a wizard transforming grown-ups into towering giants. **PROGRAM** Together is more fun than alone!
