CinéKids: October screenings at the Forum des images
Forget the usual afternoon routine and whisk your little ones away into a world of pure cinematic magic. From majestic fortresses to whimsical animated tales, this is the perfect spot for mini movie buffs to discover the wonders of the big screen.
Forum des images (Paris 1st)
About
The Forum des images invites young cinephiles from 18 months to 9 years old to explore cinema through the lens of majestic castles. From medieval fortresses to futuristic kingdoms, the program features a curated selection of films and live ciné-concerts as part of the CinéKids sessions and Mon Premier Festival. Located in Paris’s 1st arrondissement, the venue provides full accessibility for wheelchair users. Join these screenings every Wednesday and select Sundays throughout October 2026 to share magical storytelling experiences with your children, including classics like Howl's Moving Castle and exclusive festival premieres.
Every Wednesday and two Sundays a month, cinephiles aged 2 to 9 - and their parents - are invited to wander with imagination through the most beautiful fortresses of cinema.
Whether medieval or futuristic, castles are places full of magic and mysteries! Queens and kings sit on thrones there, princes and princesses fall in love there, and beasts or dragons are sometimes masters of the dungeons.
