Cinema-Museum for the Whole Family / The BFG (Big Friendly Giant), 2016 / Film + Activity Kit

Join us for a cinematic family experience on Saturdays — a film screening and a visit to the Museum's exhibitions, accompanied by a self-guided activity kit.

In each session, we’ll embark on a wonderful cinematic journey. The carefully selected films complement a visit to one of the museum’s exhibitions, offering young viewers new perspectives on the artwork.

At the end of the film, each participant will receive a kit for independent gallery exploration — through which they can discover how a still image can be transformed into a moving one.

Get ready for a truly artistic adventure!

The BFG (Big Friendly Giant), 2016 | Dir: Steven Spielberg, USA, 115 minutes, Hebrew-dubbed

A magical and moving tale directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl. Sophie, a 10-year-old orphan, lives in an orphanage in England. One sleepless night, a giant appears at her window. Despite her initial fear, Sophie joins the friendly giant on a magical journey. The kindhearted giant reveals to her the secrets of the land of the giants. A charming adventure story.
