February 26th – March 20, 2016
During four weekends beginning the end of February, the New York International Children’s Film Festival invites families to explore the world without leaving NYC. Over 25,000 parents, children, and filmmakers are treated to the best new films for ages 3 – 18 at venues throughout NYC. Each year a highly selective slate of the best animation, documentary and experimental films from over 2,500 international submissions are presented. This year 100 new films from around the world, representing more than 30 countries and 15 languages will be featured. There will be 75 film screenings, 20 feature films and 6 unique short film programs all for ages.
Since 1997, 33 festival films have been recognized with Academy Awards and nominations, and in 2011, New York International Children’s Film Festival became an Oscar qualifying event.
