In this summer’s Park Your Cinema Kids, we invite our young film buffs and their families to discover incredible heroes in worlds that defy the imagination, to embrace tales based on compassion, and to build bridges that abolish differences and create a universe of love and trust.
In all of these stories, the heroes break away from the safety of their world (like Elsa and Anna, who seek the truth beyond Arendelle), choose their unexpected families (like Paddington, the lovable bear, in London), meet the friends with whom they’ll share unforgettable adventures (like the boy who forges an unbreakable bond with the Iron Giant), choose kindness over prejudice (like Shaun the Sheep, when he comes across an alien weed) and, of course, the adventure that makes all of this possible (like the revelation of the Giant Pear).
Every day, kids are faced with the reminder that the world around us is not black and white: it is multicolored, multifaceted, complex, like these wonderful films chosen by the Athens International Children’s Film Festival, which make up the most exciting summer cinema season at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
Missing Link (2019):
Mr. Link (Kostis Maraveyas) is a naïve but super smart and kindhearted beast, and the very last specimen of man’s primeval ancestry. He is the missing link. With more and more species going extinct, Mr. Link is in grave danger, as he is the last of his kind. Embarking upon a daring quest for his distant relatives, he will seek the help of Sir Lionel Frost (Konstantinos Markoulakis), the world’s foremost investigator of myths and monsters, and Adelina Fortnight (Antigoni Psychrami), who has in her possession the only map that leads to the fabled valley where his relatives hide, in an incredible Odyssey around the entire world.
