Year of Production: 1960-79
Country: Poland, France, UK

This film matinée is a special event KINOTEKA has prepared for our youngest audiences. Cine Lumiere will be hosting a screening of the most iconic Polish, French and British cartoons accompanied by live music played by prominent jazz musicians from Wrocław (organised in partnership with the Jazztopad Festival). The musical themes will be on various topics, combining film plots with imagination-stimulating musical tales created ad hoc and thus introducing young viewers to the world of jazz.

After the screening, kids are welcomed to come and talk to the musicians and touch the instruments.
