Young Audiences' Cinema in the Spotlight All Summer Long in Vendôme
Every summer, the Little Films Festival transforms the Majestic Ciné Vendôme into a true cinema paradise for toddlers. For two months, from late June to late August, children aged 3 and up and their families can discover a carefully selected program of animated films, documentaries, and fiction suitable for the youngest viewers.
A National Quality Program
The Little Films Festival was born in 2019 from the collaboration between four French distributors specializing in youth cinema: Little KMBO, Gebeka Films, Cinéma Public Films, and Les Films du Préau. Each edition offers a selection of approximately eight films, including exclusive previews and animated classics. The works are chosen for their artistic quality, their ability to enchant young children, and their educational value.

The screenings are designed for young audiences:
- Adapted Duration: Short film programs last between 40 and 50 minutes for the youngest
- Reassuring Atmosphere: Lighting is gradually dimmed, and sound is adjusted for sensitive ears
- Activities: Creative workshops and festive moments punctuate certain special screenings
- Single Price: €4.50 for everyone, children and adults
