LIAF presents: Children’s Programme, Picturehouse, Exeter

May 5, 2013 by LIAF

12 amazing films that have screened at LIAF over the last few years, aimed at sparking the imaginations of our youngest audience. The films come from Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Poland, Russia and Latvia and explore such magical subjects as Erwin the weasel who lives in a traffic light and whose job it is to turn the lights on and off (in ‘Signalis’), to the absent-minded witch who loses her button (in ‘The Witch’s Button’).

Please check with Exeter Picturehouse for the correct start time. Tickets will be available for purchase here
