His mission: to make viewers smile or roll their eyes. Momo - The Monkey Influencer came to Chemnitz with the short film project MOMO DISCOVERS C THE UNSEEN. Together with a film team and Adam Bechovsky, the creator of Momo, children from the Capital of Culture Region and the Czech Republic filmed their very own cinematic journey - discovering filmmaking, the beauty of the Ore Mountains and the power of teamwork. The short film celebrated its premiere in Chemnitz and will then be shown by the project partners in Zschopau, Marienberg, Olbernhau and Prague. It was also invited to the "ELBE DOCK" short film festival in Dresden and celebrated another premiere in Malta, supported by the Sir Arturo Mercieca Primary School, the so-called "Happy School" from Gozo.
