PLEASE NOTE: OUR FILMS ARE TARGETED to children age 5-11. Due to the younger range of children in the audience, adult themes & dialogue will be disqualified, as will films with captions. PLEASE SUBMIT AGE-APPROPRIATE, non-verbal or English language films only. Thank you!
We look for short films (7 min. is at the top range) that creatively inspire children's imaginations. Our films include a wide range of subject matter -- from films sharing gentle social messages about such things as kindness and respect of diversity to abstract line drawings set to music to funny things that make kids laugh or want to dance. A few of the films we show have been made by children. We do not show violence. We do not show films made for an ongoing US-based TV series. Films must be English language or nonverbal. We prefer recent films but at times have shown older titles as well; many of our films have won multiple awards, including the Academy Awards.
We are happy to answer questions on any of our rules & terms. Thanks again!
