Summary/Abstract: Film and media education in the case of preschool-age-children is a particularly complicated matter. There are many different factors, including the question of methodology, challenges which stem from the learning abilities and skills of young children that should be discussed. The article on the one hand tries to indicate the main obstacle that preschool audiovisual education in Poland deals with. But on the other hand it presents and describes as a case study the New Horizons Association projects dedicated to children age 3–7. As the New Horizons are a nongovernmental organisation, the kind of solution they propose does not solve all the problems and is limited and restricted. In the final part of the article I critically try to refer to, what is still for many, an exceptional proposition.
