KUKI - CHILDREN FILMS

For the sixth time, the interfilm festival includes three programs featuring international short films for children. In addition, there will be two screenings compiled from the three programs especially for school classes.

Most of the 27 films are animations without dialogues, but the number of short fiction films has risen since last year. Wonderful, playful melodies underline the great diversity of the inexhaustible bag of tricks that the filmmakers from 20 countries draw from. Kids can enjoy the adventures of animated or drawn puppets, sand characters, and - this year's main player - clay figures. Children, their daily lives, their problems with parents, or the essence of friendship are themes in these short masterpieces.

A jury of six children between the ages of 8 and 13 will present two awards to the best children's films. For the first time, the audience will also be asked to choose their favorite for an audience award.

In addition, the short film that was created by a group of third to fifth graders participating in a film workshop during the Fall break on the theme “Don't just throw me away!” will be shown before each KuKi program screening. Young festivalgoers are also encouraged to attend the Signor Rossi episode screening in the Bruno Bozzetto retrospective program.

Enjoy the colorful world of children's short film!
