Check it out Buster: movies for minors

Buster Film Festival For children and youths 13-23 Septmeber Various locations 15kr per film www.buster.dk

 

Tell your kids to forget all about Cannes, Tribeca or Toronto, because the most exciting film festival for children is once again coming to Copenhagen. Next week Buster Film Festival will be screening over 120 films from around the world, including feature films, shorts and documentaries – all for young audiences. 

 

With a focus on providing insight into other cultures found both within Denmark and abroad, the festival will feature films from the US, Belgium, France, Japan, Equador, Canada and India, as well as Denmark. 

 

In addition to the cinematic screenings, which will be held in cinemas, museums, culture houses and even Copenhagen Zoo, Buster will be hosting a wide range of workshops that will give kids a chance to explore different aspects of filmmaking for themselves. Whether you have the next Steven Spielberg or maybe a Meryl Streep hiding in your family, there will be something for everyone with workshops in 3D-animation, film scenography, foley-work and acting classes.  

 

Although those films with an under 10 rating will be dubbed to Danish, all movies with a 13+ rating will be in their original language with English subtitles.
