Mouv' Screening: Katia et le crocodile
A film by Vera Simkova and Jan Kucera, 1966
In French, with English subtitles. 72 minutes.
On 4 October, Mouv' presents Katia et le crocodile (Katia and the Crocodile) by Vera Simkova and Jan Kucera, a 72-minute Czech film from 1966 - a film rarely seen in Belgium with children left to their own devices to perform funny and improbable actions. It's a sparkling film that echoes the futility of action and effort in children's games: this film is always in motion and offers a poetic way of going beyond limits. To be seen as part of the exhibition Jeux d'Enfant by Francis Alÿs.
Free with reservation. For children aged 6 and over.
APERO TOURS (FR/NL)
Each Nocturne, join our ‘Apéro Tour’, a guided tour during which one of the WIELS guides takes you through the current exhibitions and enjoy a drink of your choice before or after the visit in the WIELS’ Café. Join our guides and discover the exhibitions in a different way!
