Jury

Originally from The Netherlands, Saskia has worked in the UK film and film education industries for over 20 years. In 2015, she founded Small World Cinema to introduce young audiences to classic and world cinema in a fun, interactive, and engaging way. Our programme celebrates the very best of children’s cinema from around the globe. Through relaxed screenings and creative activities, we offer a warm and inclusive space—ideal for families and for anyone who would benefit from a supportive, non-judgemental environment. What began as a labour of love has grown into a broader initiative. Today, we create bespoke events for cinemas and alternative venues looking to launch or strengthen their family-friendly film programmes.
