Cinemini: A Magical Adventure with Paper

Kids aged 2 to 6 will experience their first cinema visit in our cozy screening room. On Sunday mornings, toddlers and preschoolers can enjoy Taartrovers Cinemini, a special program where they watch films and play in a beautiful light landscape. During Taartrovers Cinemini, we showcase beautiful, whimsical, exciting, abstract, narrative, and sometimes challenging short films, specially curated for toddlers and preschoolers. After the film, children can play together in a light landscape created from various installations that allow them to explore how light can tell stories. They'll discover shapes, projections, light, shadows, stories, movement, and colors. What creates shadows? Where do images come from, how do shapes get bigger or smaller, and how do they disappear into thin air? While shadows are often taken for granted by adults, they can seem magical to children, transforming grown-ups into towering giants. **PROGRAM:** - **Papier** is a delightful film program featuring paper friends on various adventures.
