Ten animated stories will engage little ones in a colourful world full of surprises and playful stories. Here you will see a rare meeting between a white bird in a black world and a black cat in a white world, a happy tiger on a plate and two adventurous lemurs flying above the clouds. Meet a newcomer - a frog who has joined the rabbit class. Inventive solutions, different animation styles and enchanting stories abound. This programme is a collaboration with the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival (France). V
The programme was created by "little programmers" - primary school pupils aged 7-10 interested in cinema. Accompanied by professional film curators and educators, they selected films of interest to them. "The "Little Programmers" are part of the Young4Film initiative of the European Film Festival Network, inspired by the international project Moving Cinema and part-funded by the MEDIA sub-programme of the EU's Creative Europe programme.
