LIAF presents: Shorts for Kids, Picturehouse at FACT, Liverpool

June 23, 2013 by LIAF

Animation, like childhood, can be full of wonder with the biggest pleasures being the simplest ones. This programme strips away all the soft-sell toy ads and the over-the-top blockbuster-style special effects and just delivers up a programme of wonderful films full of simple joys.

These films are suitable for children of all ages, but are specifically aimed at 0-5 year-olds.

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