CINEMINI - A FILM PLAYGROUND NEW!
In March we are road testing a new programme for our youngest audience members. 'Cinemini' is designed specifically for young children (3-6) and features a selection of short films to inspire the children's creativity and curiosity. In between screenings, the children can explore and play with colour, sound, movement, light and shadow in our specially designed film playground where we experience film with all our senses. Older siblings are welcome to join in.
ECO Crafternoon
We celebrate EARTH-DAY with this relaxed Eco 'crafternoon' session for the whole family. Our film this month is the whimsical and irresistible 'Oink', a stop-motion animation about a little girl who is given a piglet instead of a puppy by her granddad. But, as we find out, granddad has a secret and the gift may not have been intirely innocent... The film is shown in Dutch with English subtitles.
