For the February holidays, the Télérama children’s cinema festival offers screenings of youth films and film workshops at the Jean-Paul Belmondo cinema (formerly Mercury) in Nice. Nine films are showing between February 9 and 20, 2022.
Taking place between February 9 and 13, the workshops are organized by the association “Il était un truc…“. It offers children the opportunity for “reinterpretation, experimenting and inventing multiple forms of movement through overlays, recoloring, or even collages”. They last two hours after the film screening. The number of places is limited to ten children.
The price for a simple screening is 3.5 euros for the whole family. The cost of a workshop is 4 euros. The Télérama pass must be presented to gain access to the sessions.
