An audience favourite, the KIDS’ REEL selection of short films is especially suited to the youngest film buffs and those discovering the magic of cinema for the very first time. With no spoken language or only minimal dialogue, these animations invite every viewer to lose themselves in the wonders of moving images.

With a total running time of approximately one hour, the selection brings together works from some of the world’s finest and most tradition-rich animation studios in Europe and beyond. Masterfully crafted, reflecting a variety of moods, and unlike anything you would typically encounter, these animated works will move and delight you.

Foreword by the programme curator: The world is full of wonders if you give in to the power of imagination and dreams. Somewhere, a cloud is searching for its silver lining, a snow hare is inviting you to play hide-and-seek, and little Greek gods have their own school playground where colourful myths unfold alongside ordinary moments of childhood.
