This year, Cineketje chimes in with one of the themes of the festival: beach movies! This selection of short films will give you a nice foretaste of the sunny days to come. But the beach isn’t just a place to enjoy the sunshine and build sand castles: you can get lost and find each other back, make new friends, discover new things, go on an adventure... A veritable place to play and to live.
