Now for my spicy take on the “Jazz & Animation Jam Kids Day”.
Imagine this – a power-packed punch of vibrant animation served with a side of foot-tapping jazz. It’s like eating popcorn while ninja cats perform ballet – too impossibly cool to miss! KINOTEKA is here with a killer combination of cartoons and jazz that’s set to elevate matinée from ‘mid-day movie time’ to an ultra-luxe, not-your-ordinary fun event. Kiddos might walk in expecting a cartoon marathon but hold onto your popcorn folks, they’ll be swaying out with a newfound appreciation for the suave saxophone.
From British toons to French flicks, this isn’t just another international festival – it’s a passport to epic animations backed by Wrocław’s crème de la crème jazz musicians. Brace yourself, people – the animation’s going vaulting over the rainbow while jazz throws you one heck of a groovy lifeline!
Join us for a unique matinée experience, brought to you by KINOTEKA, designed especially for families and young viewers. Experience some of the most memorable Polish, French and British short animated features at Ciné Lumière, complemented by live music from celebrated jazz artists from Wrocław. The melodies will convey various narratives, mixing cinematic stories with spontaneous musical journeys, thereby immersing youngsters into the world of jazz. The line-up includes: Autumn with Reksio
