různí / various | 55 min

Appropriate for children over 3

This year, the Anifilm festival asked experienced curator and festival organizer Aneta Ozorek to compile special programmes for children. And in that selection you’ll find charming films from the world’s best film festivals for children. You will have a chance to see the adventures of small dreamers, who fight for their fantasies, no matter what obstacle they have to overcome. There is a story of a scarecrow who wants to see the sea, a wolf who dreams about becoming a ballerina, and a hen who wants to fly. It’s much easier to make your dreams come true when you are surrounded by joy and that’s why this set of films is also filled with laughter and fun. We can cheerfully sing with a fire hydrant, to give a fox a flick on the nose or go sledging with a squirrel. Who wants to start dreaming and laughing with all of them? Are you ready for new remarkable encounters?

ČEZ SCHOOL OF ANIMATION uses an entertaining form to introduce the process of animated fi lm production to children. This year, the fi lms will refl ect energy production, be it green renewable energy, nuclear energy or any other kind of energy.
Under the supervision of lecturers, children will go through the entire process and make their very own animated films from script to the fi nal animation. They will use various artistic techniques such as cutout animation, drawing, sand animation, pixilation and possibly also the demanding technique of puppet animation.

Ernest & Célestine

Benjamin Renner, Vincent Patar, Stéphane Aubier | France, Belgium, Luxembourg | 2012 | 80 min

Appropriate for children over 8

Bears usually tend to be solitary sourpusses, but Ernest is different. He is a clown and a musician; he would like to be cheerful, but he often does not have anything to eat and has got empty pockets. One day, he catches a small mouse called Celestine, who has escaped from her underground rodent world. She naturally doesn’t want to be eaten by Ernest so she makes a deal with him. If he will not eat her, she will show him where he can get lots of chocolate and the best sweets. But neither of them really knows whose tracks they are actually following. Despite all their differences, the two become an unlikely duo which stands a chance of overcoming prejudice and uniting two different worlds. The intimate story is highlighted by dynamic hand animation and varicoloured refracted tones of watercolour paints.
The tender and also slightly wacky family film Ernest & Clementine was adapted by Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar and Benjamin Renner from a series of children’s books by Belgian writer Gabrielle Vincent. This Academy Award nominated original comedy about bears and mice won a number of awards from viewers and critics alike, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, César 2013 and a Special Mention in the section Director’s Fortnight at the Cannes festival.

Live and Deep in Moss

Filip Pošivač, Barbora Valecká | Czech Republic | 50 min

Appropriate for children over 3

During Christmas 2015, Stream.cz premiered the charming 26-minute puppet film Deep in Moss, which was seven years in production. Its authors are graduates of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague who follow in the footsteps of the Czech puppet animation tradition. Not only the “old” tradition represented by Jiří Trnka and Břetislav Pojar, but also the newer one represented for instance by Jan Balej. Deep in Moss is set in a deep forest where forest elves Bertie and Josephine dwell. Their job is to look after the forest; Josephine sews hats for fashionable mushrooms and Bertie lights mushroom night lamps. But one day, Bertie’s special mushrooms are gone… The successful film was followed by the six-episode spin-off series Live from the Moss. In the film, Bertie meets a young forest fairy and helps her to become a presenter at the local forest radio station. And from her new position at the station, the fairy brings us six new short stories from the moss.

What Can Animation Bring to Life?

různí / various | Czechoslovakia | 66 min

Appropriate for children over 5

If we read the International Animated Film Association’s definition that “the art of animation is creating moving images in all ways except live action,” it will come as no surprise that one can animate any object (toys, glass balls, children’s clothing) and material (clay, pastry, puzzles). This showcase includes films that draw inspiration from these sources and can playfully develop the imagination of the youngest audiences.
