In nuce: A current press release informs about the children’s film festival “Tricks for Kids”, which will take place as part of the 29th “Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film” (ITFS). The ITFS will take place from 3 to 8 May 2022.
What can you expect at “Tricks for Kids”? The programme features international short films, animated films and animation series. The films will be screened on site in Stuttgart, and some will also be shown in the media library at OnlineFestival.ITFS.de. There will also be many workshops and hands-on activities for children.
Daily open-air cinema: The open-air cinema on Stuttgart’s Schlossplatz invites you to enjoy a cosy picnic in front of the large LED screen. A short film programme from the Tricks for Kids competitions of recent festival years will be shown daily at the open-air cinema from 12 noon. In addition, a family-friendly animated feature film will always be shown (for example “Latte Igel und der magische Wasserstein”, “Der kleine Rabe Socke”, or “Gregs Tagebuch”). The Open Air programme will be streamed live worldwide every day from 2 p.m. on the ITFS.

World premiere in the open air: the short film “Hidden Heroes” by animation studio monströös and director Anna Levinson is celebrating its premiere at the Open Air cinema this year. The film was created for “Mach dich stark – Initiative für Kinder im Südwesten”. An initiative that tackles the challenge of child poverty. The film will be shown on Wednesday 4 May at 19:45 on the open-air stage.
