We’ll also have short films about animals\, the sea\, childhood\, myths\, magic and more. \nWe hold the event as a very relaxed film screening – you can drop in any time\, and everyone’s free to move around\, play and chat during the event. You can also try out DIY stop-motion and direct animation\, make paper puppets\, and share your ideas about the kinds of films you’d like to see! \nSetting up: as this is a community event\, we’ll spend the first 10 minutes setting up\, and the last 15 minutes tidying up. We welcome people helping out with this at the start and end! \n\nTickets are free\, get your tickets here! \n\n  \nProgramme \nFOR CHILDREN 1-3pm \nSeaside Escape \nSea/Shore \nThe Penguin Who Couldn’t Swim \nSea Scouts’ Regatta \nEdinburgh Zoo penguins livestream \nGrand Dandy (For Ezra) \nIn Nature \nToti \nAstral \nStop motion animations by children of the Queer Families group \nAnd more! \nThese shorts are chosen to be interesting for children 0-8+ years old – with a range of stories and styles\, and themes and characters to spark imagination.
