NY International Children's Film Festival050

The New York International Children's Film Festival's mission is to encourage the creation of passionate, intelligent, artistic film and video productions for children ages three to 18, and to build an audience for these works.

Attend a few films, and you'll appreciate the Festival organizers' vision; the coolest part for kids is...their votes count!

The 2011NYICFF Opening Night Gala: Mars Needs Moms 3D includes an exclusive preview screening of Disney's new 3D space adventure comedy based on the beloved book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Berkeley Breathed.

The 2011 NYICFF Awards, Best of Fest, and Closing Night Party features an awards ceremony, encore screening of winning films, and wrap party (additional fee) with hors d'oeuvres, delectable treats for kids of all ages, and an open wine and beverage bar. And each guest receives a NYICFF goodie tote bag stuffed with gifts and prizes.
