Cinemini | De kleine vogel

Children from 2 to 6 years experience their first cinema visit in our cozy cinema. On Sunday morning, toddlers and preschoolers will experience Taartrovers Cinemini, a special program in which they experience film and can play in a beautiful light landscape.

Language is no problem, there is 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
De Kleine Vogel takes you on a bird's-eye view through the four seasons. The bird goes on an adventure in the forest and meets foxes, squirrels, bees and caterpillars during its journey.

SPRING SONG
Udo Prinsen, 2012
The Netherlands
Two woodpeckers set the spring in motion with their rhythmic drumming.

THE LITTLE BIRD AND THE LEAF
Lena von Döhren, 2012
Czech Republic
It is winter. At the end of a branch hangs one more leaf, which falls after a small black bird has flown past it. The wind propels the leaf up and dances with it through the snowy forest. A small bird happily joins in.

THE LITTLE BIRD AND THE SQUIRREL
Lena von Döhren, 2014
Czech Republic
It's autumn. One leaf still hangs at the end of a long tree branch. The little bird wants to water the leaf, but the playful squirrel steals the green watering can. The little bird gives chase, but a fiery red fox lurks behind the trees.

THE LITTLE BIRD AND THE CATERPILLAR
Lena von Döhren, 2017
Czech Republic
The little bird enjoys the peace and quiet, high up in its tree, at least, until an unexpected guest shows up. The caterpillar is eager to devour the green leaves that the little bird has so tenderly cared for.

THE LITTLE BIRD AND THE BEES
Lena von Döhren, 2022
Czech Republic
The little bird enjoys the flowers of the maple. When he hears a mysterious buzz, he immediately wants to know what it is. Thus he embarks on a journey to a magical flower world.

ABOUT TARTROVERS 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.
