Score:
Tonda is not an ordinary boy; he's been shining since birth. Ashamed of this, and because his parents do not let him go anywhere, he prefers to spend all his time in his room. When Slávka, a girl with glasses and a “magic” flashlight, moves into the building, he doesn't trust her at first. Eventually, it turns out that the two may understand each other and that they might also unravel the secrets of the old apartment building. Is there some kind of monster, or is it a ghost running through the corridors and terrifying everyone? Why can only the old janitor talk to it? The poetic, visually captivating film using stop animation shows that one can deal with otherness in any form and that tolerance and responsibility are cards that one can always play, especially at a time when the ideals of tolerance, justice, and compassion are in doubt. This film for the whole family is presented in its world premiere.

Score:
"I was 12 years old. I loved chocolate ice cream and hated cabbage. We were an average Belgian family. But if you looked closely, we weren't quite like other families." So begins the story of Michel Kichka's Jewish family. He plays pranks on his younger brother Charly, teases his sister, who can't wait to get out of her parents' sight, and talks back to his mother at the dinner table. It introduces us to the environment of the Jewish community in a Belgian town in 1959. Through his childlike perspective, he also tries to figure out what it means when people talk about his father's stay in a war camp. What does the number on his forearm mean? What scared him when their tickets were checked on the train? What happened in a place called Auschwitz? This animated film is another cinematic reflection on the Holocaust, this time based on Michel Kichka's autobiographical comic The Things I Didn't Tell My Father.

Score:
A story of one of the greatest human adventures – the conquest of the North Pole in 1926 – seen through the eyes of an involuntary polar explorer, a small terrier named Titina. When Italian designer and airman Umbert Nobile finds a cute stray dog on a street in Rome, he's charmed so much that he takes her home. And because she’s a lady, he named her Titina. But a warm bed and regular food were not the only things awaiting Titina. The famous Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen approaches her new owner and hires his airship, from which he intends to conquer the North Pole. Of course, Titina would not miss it. With her, we follow the journey of the Italian crew and Norwegian polar explorers to the last undiscovered place on Earth. This exceptional achievement in the genre of animated film brings family entertainment to cinemas full of adventure, exciting moments, and educational elements.
