De Dag van de Korte Film 2024 – Kids ⁴⁺

On the shortest day of the year we celebrate Short Film Day. This week we treat children aged four and up to the best short films from Europe. Everything changes in these films, winter turns into spring, a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.

Spring Always Comes Back (Alicia Núñez Puerto, ES 2021, 10') It's spring and Grandma Margara teaches her four grandchildren how to plant seeds. Three of them decide to go out and discover the world. Years pass, Grandma gets older and those who left are still there, in their own way. But spring, yes, spring always comes back.

A Géométrie variable (Marie Brune De Chassey, BE 2015, 4') Children and animals change shape, thus visualizing a feeling that you can have when you look at yourself in space or when you see yourself through the eyes of someone else. Into Spring (Udo Prinsen, NL 2012, 5') Two woodpeckers set spring in motion with their rhythmic drumming.

Moon Mole (Leonor Pacheco, PT 2022, 3') A curious mole explores the world around him.

Lagoon (Mathieu Labaye & Hannah Letaïf, BE 2016, 6') A sphinx and a cat are chasing each other.

Jusqu'à la lune (Johann Etrillard, BE 2018, 8') An encounter with a little boy turns the life upside down of a man fascinated by the moon.

Katu Katu (Giedrė Narušytė Boots, LT 2021, 6') A little caterpillar is having a nice nap with his cat friends. A playful ball of wool wakes the caterpillar. Teasing and tickling, the ball awakens the caterpillar's dream of flying. Live your dreams and you will fly.
