Filmmagie, for children aged 6 and over, takes place every Sunday afternoon and during school holidays in Eye. After watching a few beautiful short films, you will get to work creatively in a variety of workshops. By watching and making together you dive into the magic of film.

Filmmagie [Film Magic] is watching and making. Discover the magic of cinema with short animations from Eye’s extensive collection. After watching the film, there is a creative activity for the children, in which they get to work with the movement of images.

During Filmmagie, kids aged between 6 and 10 sit at a long table and use coloured pencils to work on their drawings for their flip book

Step into the shoes of a Foley artist and experiment with creating sound effects for film. Make a flipbook and discover how to turn still images into a moving scene. Draw your own film on celluloid strips, or have fun moving along with the film. Check the schedule to see which films and workshops are part of the Filmmagie program.

Filmmagie is the perfect follow-up for kids older than those Cinemini – which teaches them to play with film – is aimed at. Children need a supervisor. Welcome to Filmmagie!

Children need a supervisor. Unfortunately, it is not possible to celebrate children's parties at Filmmagie.

Every school holiday there is a Filmmagie with a Dutch Sign Language interpreter present, look out for the label "with sign language".

Cinemini

Eye’s finest and most intimate film theatre is a great place for children aged 2 to 6 to experience their first cinema visit. Every Sunday morning, Eye’s Cinemini opens especially for preschoolers and their (grand)parents, where children are treated to a film, followed by experiments with light and shadow in small play tents.
