Twelve days of children's films
The 13th Dresden Children's Film Festival (20-31 October) started yesterday afternoon with the premier of the Dutch - German production Lepel, by Willem van de Sande Bakhuyzen. For twelve days, three theatres, the Filmtheater Schauburg, the Programmkino Ost, and the Museumskino will offer children from four to fourteen a selection of 32 features screened in four sections ('Dresden permieres', 'discoveries', 're-discoveries', and 'classics') as well as three short film programmes, in cooperation with the DIAF (Deutschen Institut für Animationsfilm).
For the two-hundredth anniversary of Hans-Christian Andersen's birth, the young public will be shown The Snow Queen and The Timber Box by Siegfried Hartmann. The 're-discovery' section will also screen the Hungarian animation film The Adventures of Sam the Squirrel, by Ottó Foky.
