Shorts Program 6: Through the Eyes of a Child

Running time: 117 mins

What wonders lie in the mind of a child?

Making ample use of the fertile imaginations of kids and the camera's potential for impressionist storytelling, these eight shorts range from the hilarious to the heartbreaking while always retaining their magic. A bike ride through town becomes an enchanted voyage, while a boy's bedroom becomes a land of a thousand mysteries. Children convince themselves they are mischievous cats, use magic books to deal with the grown-up world around them, and have epiphanies at the breakfast table or on the edge of a diving board. Comprised of fables, poetic riddles and comic skits, this series looks back at our early years and ahead to the future of film. - Fernando Croce
