Short Film Program for »Minis«
Short Film Program for »Minis«
Once again this year, children from the Grüne Soße day care centre have put together their own program. They selected films from the Cinemini Europe film catalogue, a European film education project for children aged three to six.
The Cinemini catalogue contains many different films: experimental, old, and animated. They weren’t made specifically for children, but were selected specifically for them. In a workshop, the young participants decide for themselves which films they want to share with the audience, what title to give the program, and which accompanying active sessions should take place in the cinema.
During the festival week, film educator Paula Engelhardt will host the finished »Minis« program. Representing the group, she brings the children’s ideas to the screen. The audience can look forward to a film program with fun, playful activities. Perhaps there will be painting or dancing between the films, or a large web of thread spun between the cinema seats— what happens exactly is up to the children!
During the program, it is therefore explicitly permitted to laugh, talk, and move around the room. Where can you find such a thing, some of you may ask. Right here! Everyone—children, parents, grandparents—is cordially invited to marvel, have fun, and be surprised by the film selection.
In cooperation with Cinemini Europe:

Grüne Soße Special: Five Handmade Films
DE/EE/GB/RU/TW 1935–2017. D: div. Without Dialogue. Suitable from age 0. Recommended from age 3.
A COLOUR BOX
GB 1935. D: Len Lye. 3 Min.
Images become notes, sequences become melodies, colors become moods, the movement of a graphic element becomes a change in pitch, and the film becomes visual music.
MOIA MAMA – SAMOLET
RU 2013. D: Yulia Aronova. 7 Min.
Different people have different moms, and they’re all cool in their own way. But having a mom who’s an airplane is pretty much unbeatable.
BIMO XINGLÜ
TW 2017. D: Annlin Chao. 4 Min.
A small piece of food in a bird’s beak transforms into a person who travels through the landscapes depicted in four significant paintings from the history of Chinese art.
VIRTUOS VIRTUELL
DE 2013. D: Thomas Stellmach, Maja Oschmann. 8 Min.
An experimental animated film that does not tell a story in the traditional sense, but rather depicts the movement of black ink on a white background, which seems to echo the dramatic arc of the overture we hear on the soundtrack.
TRAMMIVASIKAS
EE 1983. D: Kaarel Kurismaa. 10 Min.
When an old streetcar suddenly veers off the tracks and chases after a dog—which is, in turn, chasing a cat—everything is thrown off balance: Traffic in the building-block world descends into chaos, appointments are missed, and accidents are narrowly averted. Someone has to restore order!
