The NYICFF Best of the Fest tour brings films to arts organizations around the country that might not otherwise have access to independent and international film programming for young people. Kid Flix #1 is recommended for audience members aged 3 and up. (For the program for older kids aged 8 and up, see Kid Flix #2).
This year's animated shorts in Kid Flix #1 include... Two young girls who find primate pals in Me…Jane and Zoo Story. Fantastical journeys provide new perspectives in One, Two, Tree, An Object at Rest, and The Girl Who Spoke Cat. Tiny creatures are both welcome and unwelcome additions to someone’s home in Perfect Houseguest and The Visitors. A young boy reminisces about his family new and old on his Mother’s wedding day in Memories of the Sea. Wild characters plus delicious food equal a perfect recipe in both Octopus and Tiny Tunes: Food. A simple lesson proves to be essential in Looks while an important one is ignored in That’s Not A Good Idea. All shorts in Kid Flix #1 are English language or dialogue free.
New York International Children’s Film Festival was founded in 1997 to support the creation and dissemination of thoughtful, provocative, and intelligent film for children and teens ages 3-18. The Festival experience cultivates an appreciation for the arts, encourages active, discerning viewing, and stimulates lively discussion among peers, families, and the film community.
