It is the only Academy Award qualifying childrens festival in the world.
Hailed as "Cannes for Kids" the CICFF presents film and video for ages 2-19. Each year the festival scours the globe to present an outstanding selection of the best animation, live action, experimental and child produced film. The festival seeks original, highly creative, non-formulaic works that will redefine "children's film." For more information, visit www.cicff.org.
