Yellow Bib for Kids by RBA takes place for the ninth time, and since 2007 the films were seen by more than 23,000 elementary school children. The program includes four feature and four short films that wrote amazing success stories at world festivals. The short films are entertaining stories about growing up and the premiere of Croatian short film The River by Krasimir Gančev. Two feature films come from Poland, one from Czech Republic, and the last one was made way back in 1955 in former Czechoslovakia. It is Karel Zeman’s Journey to the Beginning of Time, considered one of the best children’s adventure films of all times and a pioneering work of world film.
