Adelaide Festival Centre presents
Little Big Shots 2010
Adelaide Festival Centre is pleased to announce the Little Big Shots, International Film Festival for Kids, is back for the October school holidays for its fourth consecutive year, 7-9 October in the Space Theatre.
This year's line-up includes 40 South Australian premieres and films from 20 different countries, including Latvia, Canada, India, Russia, Scotland, Kenya, Croatia, Argentina, Iran and Switzerland. There is everything from a cake-loving ghost, a lonely robotic puppy, and a pigeon who desperately wants to drive a bus. A perfect holiday activity for children aged 2-15 years or for the entire family.
Three South Australian-made films also feature in this year's program, Wee Dreaming, I am a Rocket and Serre Moi Fort. A jury of 10 children judged these three films alongside the other Australian films in the 2010 program and awarded Wee Dreaming with the best Australian adult-made film and I am a Rocket the third best Australian child-made film.
Filmed in the Flinders Rangers with a cast made up of family members, Wee Dreaming is a tale of seven-year-old Kosmo whose insistence that he doesn't need to pee before a long car drive leads to extraordinary consequences.
I am Rocket is a collaboration between 16-year-old Abby Fox of Whyalla, Change Media and D'faces of youth arts. The film follows Abby as she attempts to live her dream of becoming a rocket. Serre Moi Fort is the creation of a student from Xavier College in Gawler, who tells a story of a best friend lost and the process of reflection and remembrance through music.
A highlight of the Festival is the claymation Anna's Doll, a story of how some children affected by the Black Saturday bushfires were able to turn a negative situation into a positive one. Made by grade five and six students from Melbourne, Anna's Doll was crowned best Australian child-made film by the Little Big Shots children's jury.
Little Big Shots is Australia's only stand-alone kids' film festival focusing on short films for children plus plenty of competitions and opportunities for involvement. The films screening in Little Big Shots inspire discussion of world cultures, different languages, cultural diversity, emotional intelligence and human values. Better still, we guarantee they will make kids laugh, whoop, think and create.
The full program can be viewed on the Adelaide Festival Centre website
