Big Films, Little Viewers

A short film programme for preschools

Teaching media education in preschools in a playful way is becoming increasingly important in the context of increasing digitalisation. We take the youngest viewers by the hand and guide them  through a colourful film landscape. By discussing films with a media teacher before  and after they have seen them, the children can familiarise themselves with a special kind of cinema. In the selected short films, they encounter hungry jungle animals with big plans (Fruits of Clouds), a tiny mosquito that longs for a coat (The Mosquito Pieks), they travel through the countryside (Land without Evil) and go sledging with a young squirrel (The Sled).
