Tomorrow’s audiences and the future of cinema are the kids of today. That is why ALCINE is going to keep talking
to a new generation in the language of film.
We will be screening short films from around the world, which are made using a wide variety of animated film techniques, to open doors to imagination and to other ways of making film; a far cry
from the standardised world of commercial cinema we are used to.
These are freer and more creative proposals from all over Europe, a kind of cinema different to what is normally offered on the television and at multiplexes. Cinema that is new and different, which is able to fascinate and open doors to new horizons and worlds.
ALCINE is coming up and with it, a children's session of outstanding shorts from the Annecy Animation Festival. This section is part of the World Animation Day programme organised by the Province of Madrid.
Screenings of short films for children*:
*The short films are suitable for all audiences, however the films "Temps de Cochon", "Tulip" and "Kiko et les Animaux" have dialogue which is subtitled in Spanish.

A very fun way of making animated films. Do you want to learn to paint with light? This is the workshop for you. Together, we will create different drawings in the air using a torch. Then we will take photos and, by looking at all the photos one after another, we will see how they move. And we will also tell you how to do this at home using a mobile phone and a torch.
You will receive the final video a few days later, as a memento of your work at the workshop.
