Given the Coordination members’ growing interest in screening films for a young audience and the huge success of the programme "Europe in Shorts 4 – for kids", the Coordination’s audiovisual education workshop has proposed the creation of a new "Europe in Shorts" programme for an audience aged 3 upwards.

The films in this programme have been selected by different festival members of the Coordination. The programme is coordinated by Plein la Bobine, Sancy film festival for young people (France), with the help of Sauve qui Peut le Court Métrage, organiser of the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival (France). The programme is available to member festivals for three years, until June 10th 2008.

The eight selected films, from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain and Slovenia, show the vitality and diversity of animated films in Europe. Not only are their origins diverse, but so are the techniques demonstrated in the programme : pastel drawings, clay animation and also a mix between animation and live action shooting.

This ensemble shows the richness of European creativity in the field of animation, and its artistic qualities will delight young and old alike.
