Cinemini | Child of the Gruffalo
NO DUTCH REQUIRED
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
Who doesn't know him, that scary monster with those razor-sharp claws, with crunching jaws that chew everything, with calloused knees and flat feet, a poisonous green wart and orange eyes, a tongue as black as liquorice and purple spikes from tail to head, the Gruffalo!

26 minutes
The child of the Gruffalo is curious about the big, scary mouse. One evening when the Gruffalo is asleep, he goes out, alone through the dark forest, in search of the mouse. In this beautiful animation, exciting and funny moments alternate smoothly. You can shudder and carefully look through your fingers and then laugh again.

ABOUT TAARTROVERS CINEMINI
Taartrovers Cinemini is a project developed by Taartrovers and Eye Filmmuseum. The project can now be experienced every Sunday morning in Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam for several years and will also be experienced with us from autumn 2023.
ABOUT THE TAARTROVERS
The Taartrovers develop interactive cultural projects for and with children. They let young children discover the power of imagination in a playful way. They are allowed to use all their senses to examine images, play with them and make them their own. Taartrovers develops teaching materials and installations, but you also come across them in theaters with their own festival, in the community center with extracurricular activities, in museums, at schools or symposia. In this way we bring culture for young children to all places in society.
