Culture Night - Shorts for Wee Ones

Who needs a spoken language film to tell a story when they are as visual as these are? This collection of six short films for our youngest viewers is sure to delight and amuse. We’ve gathered a variety of stories and styles from around the world – this year featuring films from Germany, France, Lithuania, Australia and Spain.

A pufferfish tries to seem as big and strong as possible; Piglet and Cow have a blast ice-skating on a lake until they need to face the strange and unfamiliar world underneath them; a baker becomes allergic to flour and wonders how he will manage to keep baking for everyone in the village. Alfred wanders without a home until he meets Sonia who offers him a coffee; and five little monsters have fun following the signs.

All these short films are dialogue free. These magical tales will delight children age 3+ and are a colourful introduction to the cinema experience as well as moving image literacy, perfect for those at the start of their engagement with film.
