The »Minis« film pro­gram at LUCAS is some­thing very spe­cial this year: child­ren from the second gra­de of the Grüne Soße school store put tog­e­ther their own pro­gram. They choo­se films from the Cinemini Europe film cata­log. This is a European film edu­ca­ti­on pro­ject for child­ren aged three to six. 

In a work­shop with film edu­ca­tor Nils Brunschede, the child­ren them­sel­ves deci­de which films to share with the audi­ence, what title to give the pro­gram and which accom­pany­ing acti­vi­ty units will take place in the cine­ma. There are many
dif­fe­rent films in the Cinemini cata­log: expe­ri­men­tal, old and ani­ma­ted films. They were not made espe­ci­al­ly for child­ren, but were sel­ec­ted espe­ci­al­ly for children.

Nils Brunschede will host the Cinemini pro­gram on the Sunday of the fes­ti­val. He brings the child­ren’s ide­as to the screen on behalf of the group. The audi­ence can look for­ward to a film pro­gram with fun, playful acti­vi­ties. Perhaps the­re will be pain­ting, dancing or a lar­ge net of thread stret­ched bet­ween the cine­ma seats bet­ween the films – the child­ren deci­de exact­ly what happens! 

During the pro­gram, it is the­r­e­fo­re express­ly per­mit­ted to laugh, speak and move around the audi­to­ri­um. Where can you find such a thing, some of you may ask. Right here! Everyone – child­ren, par­ents, grand­par­ents – is cor­di­al­ly invi­ted to be ama­zed, have fun and be sur­pri­sed by the sel­ec­tion of films.
