Five short films for children of all ages, combining animation and live-action in imaginative and playful ways. This short film collection includes five original children's films. Two of them combine live-action and animation: in 'Linard, Monti and the Music' by Annette Carle and Karin Heberlein, the well-known Swiss singer-songwriter Lindard Bardill delves into the magical mountain world of an Alpine king in search of inspiration for a new song, with his cheeky (stuffed) dog by his side. Another film by the same directing team is just as playful: 'Linus Meets Marius and the Hunting Band' is an animated cartoon in which a boy observes a quirky hunting band rehearsing in a forest hut and discovers various instruments. A clip that was animated by seven school classes in Switzerland's four national languages ('Pixi Dixi') and two animated films round off the short film program: 'Valise' by Isabelle Favez is about clumsy bank robbers who lose their loot, lose their loot, and 'Queen Po' by Maja Gehrig is a highly enjoyable film set in the imagination of a girl who, before falling asleep, dreams up a story about Queen Po, who lives high above the clouds. —filmo.ch
