This programme is made especially for our youngest festival-goers. Selected from around the world, these films will be judged by a special young jury of Klaipėda school students. This lively selection invites kids to dive into stories about friendship, nature, and the diversity of emotions, while discovering the colourful world of animation in many different styles and techniques. From catchy tunes to stories that spark curiosity or just make you laugh out loud — there’s something here for everyone, from kindergarteners to older students.
Films in the original language with English and Lithuanian subtitles.
