The Lumière Film Festival for Kids
To be discovered with the whole family: a film-concert dedicated to one of the greatest masters of burlesque cinema, Buster Keaton, a special programme of Tim Burton's films (in French version), accessible for young children, and a special screening to rediscover The Nightmare Before Christmas by Henry Selick, written by Tim Burton. And new this year: screenings scheduled especially for elementary and middle schools.
