About This Year's Festival
The largest children's film festival in the Pacific Northwest, Children's Film Festival Seattle celebrates the best and brightest in international children's cinema with a 10-day extravaganza of films from more than 25 countries. This year's edition includes a mind-blowing blend of programs that include live performances, animation, features, shorts, historical films and fantastic hands-on workshops for the filmmakers of tomorrow.Beginning with an opening night performance by the renowned performance duo Lelavision—a blend of film, acrobatics, dance, music and science called The Accumulation of Change—the festival will break new ground with more programs than ever, designed to help kids explore the beautiful and complex world around them.
Join us for a celluloid carpet ride around the globe, to see films that are inspiring, magical, one-of-a-kind—and not available on DVD. Crafted by Elizabeth Shepherd, the Film Forum's Children's Film Curator, Children's Film Festival Seattle includes gentle programs for tiny first-time movie-goers, chills and thrills for older, more adventurous viewers and films that will inspire young people to get involved and make a difference. What better way to spend the chilly days of January than to come together in community in our cozy cinemas, to see international films made for the next generation of movie lovers?
