Kids & Teens
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD and WEANS' WORLD
Following on from the success of For Crying Out Loud, the screenings for carers with babies aimed at the adults, Filmhouse wants to grow with its audience and has created the next stepping stone on the way to growing up: Weans’ World, films for kids aged two years and above. Within that context, we aim to further develop our audience base among children of all ages, so that there is a consistent programme available to all age groups – watch this space!
