AllNatlab | Cinemini: A Magical Paper Adventure

Children aged 2 to 6 will experience their first cinema visit in our cozy film hall. On Sunday mornings, toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy Taartrovers Cinemini, a special program where they can watch films and play in a beautiful light landscape. During Taartrovers Cinemini, we showcase charming, thrilling, abstract, and story-driven short films specifically for young audiences. Afterwards, the little ones will play together in a light landscape made of various installations that allow them to discover how light creates stories. They will explore shapes, projection, light, shadow, stories, movement, and color. What are shadows? Where do images come from? How do shapes grow or shrink and seemingly vanish? What stories can they see within shapes? For adults, shadows are ordinary, but for children, they might be a wizard that turns adults into tall giants. **PROGRAM** Papier is a joyful film program filled with paper friends ready for adventure.
