Family Programs


The family programs are curated for children and their parents or family members and work very well without an educator. For these programs, activity cards are provided with suggestions for activities at the location or at home.
 

Program I: A Splash of Colour

In "A Splash of Colour", color takes the leading role! Embark on an exciting journey through animation and experimental film, that will even take you way back to the earliest days of film, and discover the different aesthetic possibilities and effects of color with five unique short films. Thanks to the Cinemini Activity Cards that accompany the program, after each film you will have the opportunity to solve exciting tasks together or be inspired by the films and get creative yourself - with a proper splash of color, of course!
