ANIMAL SHORTS + ANIMAL HABITAT WORKSHOP
Sunday 04 Oct In the Braithwaite Hall, David Lean Cinema and Atrium
Join Small World Cinema and the David Lean Cinema for a weekend of playful films, hands-on creativity and cinematic adventures as part of Croydon Harvest. From a magical first cinema experience for under-5s to a funny and irreverent film about a pet pig, there’s something for different ages and interests. Children can also get creative, making miniature animal habitats and their own imaginary farmyard animals.
Small World Cinema brings films to life with creative activities that encourage children to explore, make and imagine.
Events on Sunday 04 October from 10.30am - doors open 10.00am
10.30am - 11.30am - Cinemini: A Magical First Cinema Experience (Under-5’s) in the Braithwaite Hall

Introduce your little ones to the magic of cinema with Cinemini, a playful first cinema experience combining short films, sensory play and creative exploration.
For Croydon Harvest, discover a charming collection of short films inspired by the natural world. Sounds become drawings, travellers become birds, trees change shape and a dog’s tail takes on a life of its own!
After the films, children can explore a cinematic playground of light, colour, shadow, movement and play, following their curiosity and discovering the magic of cinema together.
