We are all bound by threads. Getting to know someone is a journey that can expose us to harsh realities, reveal intimacy in the unseen, or take us on a trip around the world. When shared pain can turn colleagues into family and new life can turn nothing into everything, all we need to do is keep seeking out those we’re meant to meet.

This programme is designed for the youngest viewers and those dipping their toes into the world of film festivals for the very first time. It features a unique selection of animated films about family adventures and friendship meant to stimulate curiosity about the world. The young cinemagoers will also have a chance to attend a special opening celebration.

LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT OF HERE! But where are you stuck? In yourself and your defeat? Swallowed in your alcohol addiction? In your broken unhealable heart, in your social fears, war and family, in endless icy mountains or in the trunks of trees? This programme is a collection of traps. Shall we face them before we try to escape?
