Primary Education

At the Noordelijk Film Festival, children are introduced to the world of film. They put themselves in the shoes of various characters and learn to watch films more mindfully and critically. There is a suitable film for every age group. A classroom visit is more than just an impressive morning: we organise a follow-up discussion in the auditorium or provide teaching materials. The school performances take place on 5 and 6 November at De Harmonie and Slieker. If there is a high level of interest, we plan to schedule additional screenings after the festival has ended. You can register until 5 October.

Meissy is over the moon when her father turns up in town again after years of absence. Against her mother’s wishes, she secretly seeks him out and is enchanted by his colourful life as a vagrant, full of imagination, origami cranes and extraordinary encounters. *King of the Tramps* is an important film that, in a playful and light-hearted way, makes urgent issues such as homelessness, poverty and mental health accessibility and open for discussion among children, whilst showing that homeless people are just ordinary people.
