During Taartrovers Cinemini, we screen beautiful, sweet, exciting, abstract, narrative and sometimes challenging short films, especially for toddlers and preschoolers. Afterwards, visitors play together in a light landscape consisting of various installations that allow children to discover how light can create stories in a playful way. They explore form, projection, light, shadow, stories, movement and colour. How are shadows created? Where do images come from, how do shapes become larger or smaller and how do shapes disappear into thin air? And what stories can they see in the shapes? For adults, shadows are something natural, but for children they may be a magician who turns adults into tall giants.
PROGRAMME
What will the weather be like today? The weather remains difficult to predict. It may rain, it may be (very) windy, or it may be so nice that you can lie on the beach all day. In any case, one thing is certain: there are four seasons in a year – sometimes even in a single day
THE LAST DAY OF AUTUMN

The autumn leaves are beautiful with their yellow, red and brown colours, but winter is coming. The animals in the forest are making their final preparations for a special race. Winter is heralded by the arrival of ice, and the starting gun sounds for the hare, fox, beaver, bear and the rest. They all ride on homemade vehicles and help each other on their way to the finish line and their cosy winter shelters.
