The Magic Lantern is an international film club for children aged 6 to 11, it aims to inform about the wonder and beauty of cinema by showing some great films six times a year in a real cinema.
Each session begins with a small stage show combining elements of comedy and drama, which helps children to understand the films that follow by explaining key elements of the history, genres and techniques of cinema. The specially chosen films include classics of all periods from all over the world and of all genres.
The films are grouped into themes that will make the children laugh, dream, feel sad and every second year we are going to show a film that makes the children a little bit scared.
The Magic Lantern sessions are normally only for children. Although parents are not allowed to attend, there are always responsible adults present who ensure problem-free enjoyment of the show and who can help children in need of assistance. |

Before each show, The Magic Lantern members are sent a little magazine to inform them about the upcoming programme.
In the cinema, children are welcomed by presenters, chatting with them about the film and their expectations. Before the screening, a little sketch is performed highlighting certain aspects of the film’s story or of cinema history, or explaining cinematic techniques.
The Magic Lantern views children as real audience: demanding and critical, yet always ready to be amazed. |
