About this event

Dir Various/2023-2025/64 mins/Partial French with EngST A vibrant collection of short films all about how curiosity drives us forward, helping us learn about ourselves, others and the wider world. Short Films for Families showcases a wide variety of animations from France, Portugal, Germany, Czech Republic and the UK. Film screening in this programme: The Girl with the Occupied Eyes – A girl wanders through the world, never taking her eyes off her phone, but there’s a lot more to see out there. Buzz - On a prairie millions of miles from home, a grumpy space farmer is having trouble with one of her hive: a robot bee called Buzz that keeps going rogue. Mû - A young boy sets off with his companion animal in an attempt to bring water back to the dried-up spring that feeds their home. Wolfie – An artist creates Wolfie, a mischievous ink-blot wolf, whose chaos may hide an unexpected and transformative gift. Lola and the Sound of Piano - Lola and her friends build a noise machine to communicate with Simon, Lola’s neurodiverse younger brother who has a special connection to sounds.
