‘Mi Primer Festival’ film festival

Madrid will host an international film festival for children aged 2 to 12 and the whole family. More than one hundred films from around the world will be shown, including both short and feature films.

The opening film is Olivia y el terremoto invisible, the first stop-motion feature film created in Catalonia. The story tells of the adventures of Olivia, her brother Tim and their mother after they lose their home. Alongside the protagonists, children learn to find joy, humour and creativity even in difficult situations.

The festival pays tribute to French studio Folimage, creators of A Cat in Paris and Vanilla. The programme includes international premieres, including Little Amélie and The Secret of the Woodpecker.

Workshops, film forums and interactive voting have been prepared for viewers. This year, a new section, ‘From Book to Screen’, and a short-film competition for children over 10 have been added. The festival invites children not only to watch films, but also to take part in creating the magic on screen.
