The Elephant in Competition I (First Timers), 3+
Length: 45’
Narration in Slovene or no dialogue, English subtitles
Animated shorts in the running for the Children Jury Award for best film in the Elephant programme. Varying by subject matter and technique, this is a selection of animations that will enthral children and their parents alike. As the programmes are carefully tailored to specific age groups, there is no worry in letting the youngest children enjoy the animated images on the big screen.
To make your child’s first visit to the cinema or the Animateka festival a most enjoyable experience, an animator will be with you to guide the kids through this programme of animated films specially curated for the youngest audience, through play and conversation.
In a world where no one greets each other, a child says hello to the world.
The sun sets and the eyes are closing. Rocking from one green leaf to the next, the little monkey glides gently to sleep. Suddenly the world of dreams gets darker, more colourful and wild. Mysterious plants, creatures and shapes line the trajectory through the night. Somni is a cinematic lullaby.
A shoal of herrings, adopting fantastic formations, roams the vast ocean. When seagulls suddenly attack, one small herring finds itself stranded in a tidal pool. As it searches desperately for a way out, it discovers many other sea creatures here. And now there is no time for fear: only by joining forces can they hope to defend themselves against the hungry seagull.
For little children the world is full of mystery and unknown and they need the help of a wise companion to navigate the challenges of everyday life. Or maybe it’s their awe and wonder at everything new that fills the everyday life with magic (and nonsense) for the adults around them.
Every morning, Boris the village baker makes a fresh batch of crusty bread and pastries for all his neighbours until… Achoo! He can’t stop sneezing. He has become allergic to flour. How will he manage to keep baking for everyone in the village?
