Five animated short films invite young children to discover cinema through stories of friendship, helping one another and small adventures. From a farm full of surprises and a jungle lit by a lantern to a very high mountain and a piano that is difficult to move, each film offers opportunities for curiosity, humour and discovery.
Part of Porto/Post/Doc 2026's School Trip educational programme, this screening introduces children to different ways of telling stories through images and sounds.
Total running time of the films: 31 minutes.
