Join us for Discovery Shorts for Wee Ones 2024, a selection of the best short films for little film fans, first shown at Discovery Film Festival in Dundee last year. These colourful tales from around the world feature lots of cute characters, and are the perfect introduction to the cinema for children aged 3+. 

Always a popular feature of any Discovery Film Festival, this collection of six short films for our youngest viewers is sure to delight and amuse. We’ve gathered a variety of stories and styles from around the world – this year featuring films from Germany, France, Lithuania, Australia and Spain.

A pufferfish tries to seem as big and strong as possible; Piglet and Cow have a blast ice-skating on a lake until they need to face the strange and unfamiliar world underneath them; a baker becomes allergic to flour and wonders how he will manage to keep baking for everyone in the village. Alfred wanders without a home until he meets Sonia who offers him a coffee; and five little monsters have fun following the signs.

All these short films are dialogue free. These magical tales will delight children age 3+ and are a colourful introduction to the cinema experience as well as moving image literacy.

Family Time screenings are relaxed and feature subtitles and low-level lighting for accessibility and comfort for all. All tickets are £6.
