“GOGO” and “Naïs in the land of wolves”: two films for family viewing
Naïs in the land of wolves
This December, Prince Albert and his children went to see a screening of two beautiful feature-length films: “GOGO” and “Naïs in the land of wolves”.
The festive period is ideal for spending quality time with the family. As a change from the familiar, perhaps over-familiar Christmas films, here are two films that have received the princely seal of approval from Prince Albert and his twins.

Education and nature are centre stage
“GOGO”, directed by Pascal Plisson, was screened at the Grimaldi Forum on November 29, as part of the International Convention on Children’s Rights.

Another film to catch: “Naïs in the land of wolves”, a documentary backed by the Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco, through the Human-Wildlife Initiative. It was screened on December 14 at the Cinéma des Beaux-Arts, with Prince Albert and his children attending.
