The 2008 San Diego International Children's Film Festival opens July 27 on Kids Day at Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center, presented by Comic-Con International. Comic-Con International is the largest comic book and popular-culture convention in the world, hosting more than 120,000 visitors over four days. The festival continues all day Aug. 9 and 10 at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park. At the festival, we will screen more than 100 short films from around the world made for children and teens - animation, live-action and documentary. The short films are screened in one-hour blocks, clustered for different age groups, and include Q&A sessions with attending filmmakers. We will also offer animation workshops. If you would like to submit your film, send an e-mail to sdchildrensfilm@cox.net asking for an entry form.
