Films for Kids and Young Adults
We are delighted to be able to present children and young film fans in Dortmund and Cologne with a selection of films specially curated for young audiences. Feature films, documentaries and animated films from different parts of the world cater to all age groups. All screenings are accompanied by an experienced film mediator and in some cases followed by discussions with the film-makers.
Every year our Festival welcomes around 1,000 children to our programme for children and young people. The goal of this section is to inspire young people, with their many and varied media experiences and skills, to get interested in the medium of film and to introduce them to the cinema as an aesthetic and social experiential space. Thanks to a dedicated committee of teachers who view the films in advance, programmes are created that are both high quality and suitable for classroom teaching. This concrete link to Dortmund schools makes our programme one of the most successful initiatives of IFFF Dortmund+Köln.
