Today’s young film fans are tomorrow’s film-lovers and this is precisely why CINEMATEK is trying to offer them a piece of film history. At 11 am on Sunday 29 April at Flagey you can enjoy the ‘good old’ Pinocchio, a magical film about the little wooden marionette whose nose grows longer every time he tells a lie. It is the familiar Italian version by Carlo Collodi, and of course it has subtitles (NL/FR). A nice extra is that all children under 12 with a ticket for the film will be treated to a free brunch in the cosy restaurant Les Super Filles du Tram, very close to Flagey!
More activities for children in the Kidsgazette.
