Short film programme ‘Courage from the Bag of Tricks’

KINOLINO – 33rd Film Festival for Young Audiences at the Museum Cinema

Courage doesn’t mean not being afraid, but daring to do something despite that queasy feeling. That’s what sets the main characters of these DEFA animated films from Dresden apart: they try new things, say ‘no’ or face up to a difficult situation. Curiosity, humour and skill, as well as their empathy for other living creatures, help them to do so.

Film selection:

*The Fairy-Tale Cloak*, Horst J. Tappert, GDR 1981, puppet animation

The Scaredy-Cat, Lothar Barke, GDR 1964, hand-drawn animation

The Little Elephant’s Big Journey, Heinz Nagel, GDR 1969, flat-figure animation

*Jungle Fairy Tale*, Katja Georgi, GDR 1978, puppet animation

  • In cooperation with the German Institute for Animated Film (DIAF)
  • Recommended for ages 6 and over
  • Total running time: 54 mins
  • Admission: 1 euro plus museum entry fee
  • Book online or via the visitor services desk at the Museums of the City of Dresden on +49 351 488 7272 (Mon–Fri)

From sound to music!

Holiday workshop

How is sound actually produced? Why do instruments sound different? And how does a loudspeaker work?

In this holiday programme organised by DLR_School_Lab and the Klippel Foundation, you’ll get to the bottom of these questions together with other pupils. Bring your own musical instrument and discover fascinating acoustic phenomena through listening, measuring with your smartphone and hands-on experiments.

Together, you’ll explore acoustic concepts and even build the simplest loudspeaker there is. This way, you’ll learn about the technology behind sound and music in a fun and interactive way. The expertise and guidance come from acousticians Wolfgang Klippel and Wolfgang Böhm.

  • This programme is aimed at pupils aged 12 and over who love music, enjoy experimenting or are simply curious about how sound works.
  • Dates: 13 to 15 October, 10.00–16.00 each day
  • Cost: €18 for meals
  • Book online or via the visitor services department of the Dresden City Museums on +49 351 488 7272 (Mon–Fri)
