Youth Short Film Programme

A programme for children from the age of three. Here, the smallest viewers see the world, which often seems so big and confusing, reflected in a playful way. The protagonists of the films have to find their own solutions to everyday obstacles, overcome fears and learn new things.

Without words but with clear messages, the programme convinces with its variety of topics - be it family or friendship. Exciting and instructive, it is easy to understand for viewers with no knowledge of the German language or English reading skills.

With English subtitles.
