One day in Baby City...
We read, we play, we dress up in costumes, we are creative…
Why don’t we make a film based on the well-known and loved books of English literature? Why don’t we invite others to the cinema in the city?
In my opinion, children show great ownership towards their own creativity while making a film. They are trained in cooperation and in paying attention to each other… they have fun and they share a community… this kind of practice moves film-and media use in preschool from being passive to actively engage in film-and media literacy… it also has an inclusive potential… We have seen a kind of concentration that media often claim has disappeared from childhood today… – Katarzyna Kosakowska
Many activities can be dedicated to children in preschool years: first steps in cinema theatres and film archives, playing with images and music.
Here we go with the Cinema in the City project
We invited the Parents, gave them popcorn, turned off the lights, opened the curtains and… started movie projections with the best little actors and actress.
The Oscar gala at the end of the screening was the crowning achievement of our efforts.
