Description
Short films are more than just "short films" - they surprise, they arouse curiosity, they get to the heart of the matter. They come in an infinite variety of expressions, playing with shapes, colors and materials.
The short film program Kinder-Kurzfilm ab! offers all the lovely and rewarding qualities of the artistic form of short film - and even more: Kinder-Kurzfilm ab! has been specially compiled to support language acquisition in primary schools and is based on the curriculum for German as a foreign language.
Teachers' handouts have been developed to complement the program. These allow you to playfully practice with the children the theme-specific vocabulary from the films, get to know simple sentence structures, do puzzles, write - and speak. The movies whet the kids' appetite for more, and serve as conversation starters and memory aids.
The material covers various curriculum areas and trains the skills of Listening - Reading - Understanding - Writing - Speaking in varying degrees of intensity.
Would you like to order the short films? Please contact your local Goethe-Institut: Locations worldwide.

The films
Programme I (from age 4)- Cat Lake City Percy Cat is looking forward to a relaxing day at CAT LAKE CITY, the cat's vacation paradise. But the place is not what he expected. Not even the spot on the towel is as safe as he thought...
- Die Stunde der Fledermaus As night falls on the farm, a little bat wakes up. Oh, how nice it would be to bark, jump and dance with the dog! The little bat wants someone to keep him company. He doesn't want to be alone. He is looking for a friend.
- Ich habe keine Angst During a game of hide-and-seek, Vanja leaves the bright living room and enters a dimly lit courtyard where there are far too many dark corners, eerie shadows and strange noises. To overcome her fear, Vanja transforms into a dangerous tiger!
- Bei Nacht erwacht At night, when everything is asleep, a magical world of shapes with all kinds of funny creatures awakens in the children's room. There is so much to discover. Only the approaching morning can bring the night's adventures to an abrupt end. But the next night is already waiting.
- Die gestiefelte Katze In German sign language, the story tells of the young miller's son Hans and the clever cat, who amazingly can sign just like him. With unusual ideas and ingenuity, she defeats the evil wizard and finds a way to get to know the helpful king and his daughter. Courage, confidence and wit characterize the cat, who seizes the opportunity to turn her friend Hans' situation around.
- Planet willi Willi is a very special child because he comes from another planet. But he quickly gets used to life on Earth. After all, there are cookies, cars and a great little sister here. Willi loves life and life loves him back!
- Schon gehört? The flamingo is not a flamingo at all, but something monstrous! It's just a rumor. So it doesn't have to be true. But it can be ...
- Die Lupe The main character, a girl who feels a stranger in her new city, escapes from reality with a magnifying glass. She magnifies carpet patterns and cones of light, dreams of flying plates and dances with imaginary plants. When she loses the magnifying glass, her dream seems destroyed, but when a strange girl finds her again and enters her dream world, the way is clear for a deep friendship - in reality.
