New York International Children's Film Festival
Annual film festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York International Children's Film Festival (NYICFF) was founded in 1997 to create a more dynamic film culture for kids. Its flagship event is the annual, Oscar-qualifying film festival, during which NYICFF presents the best new films from around the world for ages 3-18 (and above!)[1] to an audience of 15,000 in New York City. Other core activities include Kid Flicks[2], a year-round national touring program, and FilmEd Field Trips[3], a media arts and literacy program.
Annual Festival
The flagship New York City Festival has grown from one weekend of films into the largest film festival for children and teens in North America. Screened over the course of three weeks at venues throughout NYC, the Festival program—narrowed down from roughly 2,500 international submissions—consists of approximately 100 short and feature films, filmmaker Q&As, retrospective programs, parties, and premieres. The festival slate typically represents over 30 countries and films in more than 15 languages. Audience members of all ages vote on the Festival-winning films, and additional weight is given to votes of audiences under the age of 18. In addition to screenings and events, the festival provides an environment where kids are truly taken seriously and encouraged to use their voices.
Festival Jury
Winners of the Festival's juried prizes are eligible for Academy consideration in the Best Animated and Best Live Action Short Film categories.[4]
