The Alcalá de Henares / Community of Madrid Film Festival dedicates a section to children, ALCINE Kids, which will have its own Gala
The 54th edition of ALCINE is just around the corner. And, once again, the Alcalá de Henares / Community of Madrid Film Festival has remembered its youngest audience members. From November 6th to 16th, film-loving children can watch the best children's short films, selected by kids for kids, participate in an animated title card workshop, and attend the ALCINE Kids Gala and the Buque Bólido musical performance. We'll tell you about the activities for children at ALCINE 54.
The longest-running film festival in the Community of Madrid dedicates part of its program to children every year. In addition to bringing the best national and international children's short films, tailored to their age, to students in schools and institutes, the general public can also watch The Best of ALCINE Kids: the five finalist short films, from which the winner will be chosen by a children's jury.
Aimed at: All ages, especially children up to 12 years old
When: Sunday, November 16, 5:00 p.m.
Where: Teatro Salón Cervantes (Calle de Cervantes, 7, Alcalá de Henares)
By kids, for kids. That's what the ALCINE Kids Gala will be like, where the children of the CAJE Collective will present the award for the best children's short film of the season. A real party enlivened by the artistic and educational collective Buque Bólido, who will immerse us in a show fusing music, performance art, and live projections. Hosted by ALCINE's artistic director, Pedro Toro, and the festival's youngest programmer: 14-year-old Rebeca Tolosa Scholz.
Aimed at: All audiences, especially children
When: Saturday, November 15, 5:00 p.m.
Where: Teatro Salón Cervantes (Calle de Cervantes, 7, Alcalá de Henares)
Ana Pez, along with Kike Ibáñez, is the creator of this year's ALCINE Kids poster. Using pebbles, markers, a little glitter, and a bit of ingenuity, workshop participants will work alongside Pez to create, stone by stone, the ALCINE Kids poster, which will premiere at the Children's Gala.
Aimed at: Families with children aged 6 to 12
Sessions: Sunday, November 9, at 12:00 and 17:00
