AUGUST 22, 23, 24, PIACENZA
Part of the 22nd edition of Concorto Film Festival
Cloister of the Ricci Oddi Gallery of Modern Art, via San Siro 13, Piacenza
For children aged 3 to 10 – Free entry, reservation required
From August 22 to 24 Concorto Kids, our part of the festival dedicated to international short films for children, awaits you for three afternoons filled with workshop activities, screenings, and snacks.
After the unexpected success of the first edition in 2022, which sold out and brought more than 150 children, parents, teachers, and educators to the cloister of Ricci Oddi Gallery of Modern Art, we aim this year to further strengthen the already intertwined relationships with Piacenza institutions and to enlarge the offer for children and adults.
The 2023 edition theme is “Museums and Visual Arts“,.which will be addressed through workshops and screenings for children and adults.
Concorto Kids targets the 3-10 age group, a wide but not too varied range, which allows us to offer a consistent selection of films and activities, as well as to facilitate the division into groups.
Program
The 2023 program features two midweek afternoons (Aug. 22 and 23) during which workshop activities are intertwined with screenings and, of course, snacks. For the afternoon of August 24, Concorto Kids will be hosting a workshop open to parents, teachers, and educators.
Both these afternoons dedicated to children include refreshing snacks and screenings of short films about visual arts (on Tuesday) and short films about various topics, selected from the best international children’s productions (on Wednesday).
