Tatatam!

Tatatam! Stummfilm mit Musik

Das Stummfilmprogramm Tatatam! für Familien mit Kindern möchte die frühe Filmkunst mit live gespielter Musik verbinden und Kino als ganzheitliches Erlebnis erfahrbar machen. Das Karlsruher Duo Sailento begleitet die Filme musikalisch und lässt mit Klavier und Percussion die Bilder lebendig werden. Die eigens abgestimmte Musik unterstützt Handlung, Emotionen und Humor und eröffnet jungen Zuschauer*innen einen spielerischen Zugang zu Stummfilm, Musik und kulturellem Erbe.

Wir danken der FFA Filmförderungsanstalt

When 9-year-old Lucie arrives at Bectoile for the vacations, she has no idea of the adventures ahead. Her mother, Caroline, is leading an archaeological dig in the region with her colleague Pierrot. Bectoile is also the town where Caroline grew up, and the scene of a family secret... which Lucie is about to unveil! With the help of her new friend Yann and a very special pair of songbirds, Lucie is determined to delve into her family story. From the underground of a ruined castle to a camper van parked on the edge of the woods, this adventure will lead them from unusual surprises to fabulous discoveries!

School Cinema

A cinema instead of a classroom

We want to support motivated teachers in film education and film literacy work. All films in the Kinemathek's regular programme that are suitable for school classes can be booked as special screenings. We are happy to provide accompanying educational material or film speakers. Admission is 5 euros per person with a minimum of 25 pupils. To register, send us an e-mail at schule@kinemathek-karlsruhe.de.

Schools can also book specific films outside our programme; in that case only the film rental and presentation fees apply.

Creative writing at the cinema

This offer combines short films with creative writing: based on selected films, participants receive matching writing prompts to develop their own texts. In an inspiring cinema atmosphere they engage with cinematic storytelling and use it as a starting point for their writing. At the end there is the opportunity to read the texts aloud in the group and talk about them.

Cinemini Europe

A film education project for children aged 3–6

Cinemini Europe is a film education project exploring how watching films can be made enriching for children between the ages of 3 and 6 — whether the films are shown at the cinema or at the day-care centre. The films are short, child-friendly works that need no language, which makes them particularly suitable for young children. The offer is free of charge for day-care centres and can take place either at the centre itself or at the cinema.
