Taartrovers Cinemini

During Taartrovers Cinemini, children aged 2 to 6 experience their first cinema visit in an atmospheric movie theatre. We show beautiful, sweet, exciting, abstract, narrative and sometimes challenging short films, especially for toddlers and preschoolers. Afterwards, visitors play together in the light landscape, where children playfully discover how light can create and tell stories.

The films

The film programmes are specially designed for toddlers. Many children experience their first cinema visit with Taartrovers Cinemini in a way that suits them perfectly: the films are shown with dimmed lights, the sound is not too loud, the atmosphere is relaxed and the children can move and react to the films freely.

The Light Play Ground

After the films, children can incorporate their experiences with all their senses into the Light Playground, consisting of various installations through which children playfully discover how light can create stories. They explore form, projection, light, shadow, stories, movement and colour. How are shadows created? Where do images come from, how do shapes get bigger or smaller and how do shapes disappear into nothingness? And what stories can they see in the shapes? For adults, shadow is something natural; for children, it may be a magician who turns adults into tall giants.
