During Taartrovers Cinemini we show beautiful, sweet, exciting, abstract, narrative and sometimes also challenging short films, especially for toddlers and preschoolers. Afterwards, the visitors play together in a light landscape, consisting of various installations with which children playfully discover how light can create stories. They investigate form, projection, light, shadow, stories, movement and colour. How do shadows arise? Where do images come from, how do shapes become larger or smaller and how do shapes disappear into nothingness? And what stories can they see in the shapes? For adults, shadow is something that is self-evident, for children it is perhaps a magician who turns the adults into tall giants.
PROGRAM
Your home is your place, like a safe familiar skin around you. All houses are different. So are the houses in the films from this cheerful, poetic and colorful programme.
LITTLE SPROUT
Chaitane Conversat, 2015
France, Switzerland
A girl lives alone in a small house. Every night ants lift the house and take it to a new place. There the girl catches beautiful flower patterns in the fields around the house, from which she then sews dresses. One day a seed falls from the sky into her mouth. She swallows it and then a flower grows and blooms from her navel. A poetic film with a beautiful drawing style and strong colours.
THE LONG LIVE HOUSE
Svetlana Andrianova, 2017
Russia
A high-rise building is being built, the tallest in the world. A flat with many small apartments in its belly. What does this high house experience? Blizzards, planes, the subway underground. There is a lot to see in this short film.
SMALL STAR
Svetlana Andrianova, 2015
Russia
The little star lives in the sky, among the clouds near his MamaMoon. One evening he falls down, just like that on earth. Everyone thinks the little star is very sweet and oh so beautiful, they all want it. But the little star, what does he really want? He wants to go back home to his mom. Fortunately, MamaMoon can do anything.
