Cinemini is a globally unique project that was originally created in 2019 in the Netherlands and Germany and which we brought to the Czech Republic in 2023. The project deals with film and audiovisual education for preschool children aged 3 - 6 years.

What to imagine by this? Our lecturers will show several short films to the children, which represent a variety of cultures and approaches to film. After each screening, the children share together, under the guidance of the tutor, the feelings, impressions and thoughts that the film has evoked in them. The discussion is then followed by activities that have been prepared specifically for each film to further enhance the experience of the film.

And why is this so important? Children today come into intense contact with audiovisual content on a daily basis from an early age, so it is important that they learn to think critically about it and to name the feelings it evokes in them. Moreover, the pre-school age is a time when children, thanks to their unique imagination, perceive audiovisual stimuli very intensely and in a very different way from later in life, and this age is therefore crucial for the development of their imagination and fantasy.

We organize screenings for kindergartens and first grade all over the country and also in our Kino Kavalírka cinema, where we also organize a regular child club for the public from February 2025. If you are interested in school screenings or registering for a club, please contact us at edukace@krutonfilm.cz.
