The Lumière festival for kids
Since it's never too early to discover the pleasure of movies in a theater, young audiences can laugh out loud at the Halle Tony Garnier with “the tramp” in a film-concert of three wonderful short films by Charlie Chaplin. Another screening event: the new restoration of The Wizard of Oz on the big screen at the Auditorium of Lyon. There will also be short films by Paul Grimault, the beautiful Japanese animated feature Yuki, the classic Swords of Blood by Philippe de Broca and A Bag of Marbles by Jacques Doillon.
