Cinemini: Together in Adventure

Children aged 2 to 6 will embark on their first cinematic journey in our cozy film theater. On Sunday mornings, little ones will experience Taartrovers Cinemini, a unique program where they watch captivating films and explore a beautiful landscape of light. During Taartrovers Cinemini, we showcase charming, exciting, abstract, narrative, and sometimes challenging short films, specially selected for toddlers and preschoolers. Following the films, children will play together in a light landscape filled with various installations that encourage playful exploration of how light can create stories. They will investigate shape, projection, light, shadow, stories, movement, and color. How are shadows formed? Where do images come from, how do shapes become larger or smaller, and how do they disappear into nothingness? What stories can they find within these shapes? What seems obvious to adults can be a magical experience for children, like a magician creating giants from small figures. PROGRAM "Together is better than alone!"
