Sometimes funny, sometimes a little sad, and always full of imagination, these films tell stories of friendship and solidarity, of worries and courage, and of the small and big challenges of growing up.  From 5 years old.

    Kids + Family Kurzfilm.Club @Xenos

    What does it actually mean to be “different” – and why can it sometimes be so difficult? A little wolf made of ink, young birds taking their first flight, and unusual friendships show us that being different can certainly be challenging – but it can also be pretty wonderful. From 8 years old.

    Films + Filmtalks Kids + Family Leopoldina, Festsaal
    Germany Reserved screening
    For school pupils only

    Are all bacteria dangerous? Do we really only use 10% of our brains? And how do we actually know if a claim is true?


    Through short video clips and interactive quizzes, the school pupils become science detectives themselves: They challenge common assumptions and discover how scientists arrive at reliable findings. Curiosity and critical thinking are essential!

    What happens in our brains when we keep reaching for our smartphones? The documentary "Die Dopamin-Falle" explores the role our reward system plays and the mechanisms social media platforms use to keep us engaged for as long as possible. What starts as a quick glance at the screen can, in extreme cases, become compulsive.
