Filmmagie: Vreemde beesten en rare wezens
Around the shortest day of the year we celebrate Short Film Day. With a special film program we treat children to the best short films from Europe. You can then draw your own flipbook and learn how to make still images move. For ages 6+.
Strange creatures and weird animals in all shapes and sizes can be found in these films. After the film programme you can make your own flip book in the cinema and discover how to turn a still image into a moving scene (6+).
Programme
Caterpillar and Hen (Michela Donini & Katya Rinaldi, IT 2013, 10’)
Caterpillar and Hen are best friends. They both know that the time to part has come but it will be nature, the secret heartbeat of the world, to dictate the rhythm of the booming waiting and of silent transformations.
Ether (Jorge García Velayos, ES 2004, 5')
Let’s go on an adventure in nature! Wind and water lead the way.
White Crow (Miran Miošić, HR 2018, 9’)
Little White Crow is gawked at and ridiculed by her flock for being different. But when pollution causes turbulent changes in their environment, it is the little White Crow who helps the flock find a better home.
The Smortlybacks (Ted Sieger & Wouter Dierickx, CH 2013, 6’)
On a tabletop mountain a mahout and his strange herd make a surprising and never-ending journey.
Island (Max Mörtl & Robert Löbel, DE 2017, 3’)
On a small island a bunch of exotic creatures run across each other.
Mr. Night Has a Day Off (Ignas Meilũnas, LT 2016, 2’)
Why is the night changing the day? Well, when you don’t like something, you change it.
Make your own flipbook (30')
After watching the films, you can stay in the cinema and make a flip book. A flip book is a little book with a small drawing that changes a little from page to page. When you flip through the book with your thumb, the drawings flash by really quickly, combining together to give the impression of a film. So with this flip book you’re actually making your own mini-cartoon!
Not suitable for children’s parties. All children must be accompanied.
