The most quirky films

12-year-old Stina never thought treatment at the sanatorium for sick, poor children would be so nerve wracking. At first, all seems wonderful, until a mysterious boy alleges something fishy is going on. Stina realises her life is in danger. The doctor might be in league with a witch. An adventure with both intense and beautiful scenes.

You won’t believe it, but Benjamin Bat, the hero of this animation, is afraid of the dark. That's pretty awkward for an animal that normally lives in the dark. During the day, he risks his life scavenging for food as he needs to watch out for the sun and scary birds. To complicate matters even further: he falls in love with a tropical songbird which makes things more exciting!

Billie is 11 years old and wants to be an astronaut like her mother. She builds a radio telescope with Dino who’s also obsessed with space and aliens. They receive strange signals from outer space, but nobody believes them. When they investigate, they are accidentally launched into space and then the real adventure begins!

Going your own way is Cinekid’s theme, and that’s exactly what the characters in these films like to do. They refuse to follow the herd, and think for themselves instead. Watch headstrong main characters, crazy styles and weird animations. This compilation includes multiple tips from our Junior Crew! Clarisse Chua, director of 'Goose Quest', will be in attendance for the screening on October 30th at Pathé Amsterdam Noord to answer all your questions!

Coming of age films in which the main characters find their own way, even if this isn’t easy.
