LUCAS for families: »Attention recording!«

When: SO, Sep. 28 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Where: DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum 

ON FESTIVAL SUNDAY (SEPTEMBER 28), LUCAS HAS A GREAT OFFER FOR FAMILIES! »Attention recor­ding!« lets child­ren and young peo­p­le get to know dif­fe­rent film pro­fes­si­ons in work­shops and hands-on acti­vi­ties. A trip to the DFF means free admis­si­on for all fami­ly mem­bers from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., both to the DFF cine­ma and to the exhibitions. 

On fes­ti­val Sunday, it’s all about see­ing, asking ques­ti­ons and taking part. On the flo­ors of the DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum (Schaumainkai 41, Frankfurt), young film fans can look for­ward to sta­ti­ons on film pro­fes­si­ons. There will be work­shops on came­ra, light­ing, stunts, spe­cial effects and much more. How do I move in front of the came­ra? What signs should I look out for? A group will act out a sce­ne tog­e­ther, which should work wit­hout editing, in a sin­gle take.

LUCAS is show­ing films for all ages at the DFF cine­ma. It starts at 10 a.m. with the »Minis« short film pro­gram. MARY ANNING (recom­men­ded for age 7) from the »Kids« com­pe­ti­ti­on fol­lows at 11:30 a.m. The ani­ma­ted film tells the true sto­ry of a girl who turns the world of sci­ence upsi­de down with her fos­sil finds. Another ani­ma­ted film from the »Kids« com­pe­ti­ti­on starts at 13:30. THE SONGBIRDS’ SECRET (recom­men­ded for age 7) is about the search for iden­ti­ty, fami­ly secrets and fri­end­ship. CHRISTY (recom­men­ded from age 15), a com­pe­ti­ti­on film from the »Teens« sec­tion about two brot­hers who have to find each other again after a long sepa­ra­ti­on, will be scree­ned in the afternoon.

If you want to find out more about ear­ly visu­al media and film­ma­king befo­re or after your visit to the cine­ma, you can explo­re the per­ma­nent exhi­bi­ti­on on film histo­ry on two flo­ors. The tem­po­ra­ry exhi­bi­ti­on “Long Takes. One Shots. No Cuts.” about film sequen­ces that do not requi­re editing is only recom­men­ded for child­ren aged twel­ve and over and is the­r­e­fo­re not sui­ta­ble for youn­ger child­ren. There is ple­nty for kids to learn and try out in the many work­shops and hands-on acti­vi­ties on film­ma­king. More infor­ma­ti­on about the work­shops will be available on the LUCAS web­site short­ly befo­re the fes­ti­val starts.
