i only saw an excerpt from this movie when I was young, before 1985, maybe closer to 1980.
Most probably an American movie. The scene happens at night in a kid's bedroom, a boy, between 4 and 9yo, something like that. there's a little creature, one foot tall, at the window, talking to the boy in some martian language.
I think it prompts the kid to hide quickly because something explodes right after that. I always thought it was the same window or bedroom but I'm not sure.
Commenting as requested
Time Bandits?
Thank you but no
For some reason this reminded me of Batteries Not Included.
Wrong year and it doesn't look like it but iI should give it a try
The Gate(1987) Small Soldiers(1998)
No and no
Mac and Me?
Not this one
I love all the guesses of movies in the 90s haha.
Heck, I was thinking Men in Black International, which is even later. But now I'm wondering if that opening was perhaps an homage to another movie and I hadn't realised.
Flight of the Navigator?
Could it have been a little girl? Maybe the Drew Barrymore segment of Cat’s Eye?
I immediately thought of this too
Critters
Doesn't match exactly, but maybe The Day Time Ended (1979)?

Great scene, I gave a look to the full movie but no
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

ET? One foot tall creature sounds accurate
This was my first thought. He’s such a cute little critter😊
Nope
The Last Starfighter (1984)?
Great movie but no
Sounds similar to Extraterrestrial Visitors (1983)
No :/
The Explorers?
Nop
Invaders from Mars (1953 film)
I can't find the full movie but I need to give it a shot, although in my memories the kid had a bowl cut. Not really a 50s haircut
making contact also known as joey (1985)
No :/
The Day Time Ended aka Vortex or maybe Close Encounters With The Third Kind.
Could it be poltergeist where the clown comes alive and attacks the little boy in his bed
