Cinemini: Day and Night

Children aged 2 to 6 will experience their first cinema visit in our cozy screening room. On Sunday mornings, toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy Taartrovers Cinemini, a unique program where they can watch films and play in a stunning light landscape. During Taartrovers Cinemini, we show beautiful, sweet, exciting, abstract, narrative, and at times challenging short films specially designed for young audiences. After the screenings, children will engage in play within a light landscape, comprised of various installations that allow them to discover how light can create stories. They will explore shapes, projection, light, shadow, stories, movement, and color. Questions like 'How do shadows form?' and 'Where do images come from?' come to life as they see familiar shapes transform. For adults, shadows are natural, but for children, they can feel like magic, creating giants from small figures. **Program** What do you do at night?
