Synopsis
PLAY is a festival entirely dedicated to children and young people, a meeting place where cinema and the younger generation come together. PLAY is back at LU.CA with themed screenings designed to encourage play and reflection through film—screenings that can turn into imaginative games.
This edition of the PLAY festival explores city life and what goes on there. In everyday city life, what mysteries are still waiting to be discovered?
