World Cinema Family Films
Children have a universal language which many of world cinema’s greatest directors have tackled with aplomb in their family films. Telling a story with few or no words suits the visual nature of the movies down to a tee, as cherished classics like The Red Balloon demonstrate. World Cinema family films expose children (and willing adults) to fantastic visions of apparent simplicity and abundant imagination which will live with them always.
