In October 2024 at the Watershed Cinema, Bristol, Dáire programmed six of Lotte Reininger short fairy tale films with an aim to introduce family audiences, specifically children (aged 6-12-years old), to a form of cinema and a director/film they may not have had prior knowledge off. The event included an introduction from Dáire providing some history and insight to Reiniger and her practice, as well as a workshop facilitated by Dáire, the Pervasive Media Studio and artist Jake Kaliszewski which delved into Reinigers practice and fairy tales.
The films shown where:
-
The Flying Horse (1954)
-
The Sleeping Beauty (1954)
-
Thumbelina (1954)
-
The Grasshopper and the Ant (1954)
-
Snow white and Red Rose (1954)
-
Hänsel and Gretel (1954)
