A program for all the family from the age of 4.
The Family screening is free and requires a special ticket to be collected from the ticket office (online or in person).
This year, the Young Audience selection invites you to cross the threshold between reality and the unique world of cinema. So take a seat and let yourself be carried away by a selection of short films and experience with us a moment rich in emotion, discovery, and questions.
How do we observe a film? What triggers emotion, laughter, or reflection? How do we describe what we feel in front of a movie screen? What messages do filmmakers seek to convey, and through what means? How do we hear a film, whether its subtle silences or striking sounds? These are just some of the questions that help young people sharpen the way they experience a film, develop their critical thinking skills, and become the curious and informed audiences of tomorrow, in the heart of a truly vibrant film school.
The Young Audience screenings at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival will also be accessible to schools, with a week dedicated to school groups from 26 to 30 January.
The historic “Kids” program is now FAMILY , featuring a selection of short films that will delight the whole family. Four free screenings are scheduled, so don’t forget to reserve your seats!
We have organized screenings as follows so as to better accommodate different age groups:
- KIDS 3+ preschoolers (3 years old and up)
- KIDS 5+ preschoolers and kindergartners (5 years old and up)
- KIDS 7+ 1st-2nd-3rd graders (7 years old and up)
- KIDS 9+ 4th-5th graders (9 years old and up)
- KIDS 11+ 11 years old and up
To further this cinematic experience, we invite you to explore the Petits Ateliers (Mini Workshops) at Mille formes, an art initiation center for children aged 0-6, as well as the Atelier, a pop-up film school, at the Centre Blaise-Pascal.
