“The BUSTER festival is happy to once again bring a selection of films for Brazilian children and present to youngsters of all ages the magic of cinema in a bright program, especially in Danish cinema. Denmark has a strong tradition of creating cinematic stories for children and we are very proud to be able to showcase varied, recent and classic films that will win over young children or teenagers.
