NEW
YORK INTERNATIONAL
CHILDREN'S
FILM
FESTIVAL |
NEW
YORK INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S FILM
FESTIVAL
New
York International Children's Film
Festival (NYICFF)
was founded in 1997 to promote intelligent,
passionate, provocative cinematic works for ages
3-18 and to help define a more compelling film for
kids. Since its launch, the event has grown to
become the largest festival for children and teens
in North America, with a paid audience of over
20,000 attending the most recent event. Since
2000, all screenings have sold out in
advance.
Each
year NYICFF presents a highly selective slate of
the best animation, live action, documentary and
experimental film from around the world. The next
annual, city-wide festival will take place March
2008. The three week festival will present 100 new
films in competition plus gala premieres,
retrospectives, filmmaker Q&As. workshops,
receptions, and the NYICFF Awards Ceremony. NYICFF
also presents screenings and premieres throughout
the year at the IFC Center and other
locations.
What
we are looking for:
Each
year the festival scours the globe to present a
highly selective slate of the best animation, live
action, documentary and experimental film from
around the world. We are looking for creative,
original, non-formulaic works that will help to
define a new, more compelling film for kids. We
are not shy about showing films with mature
themes, subject matter, language or sensibilities,
especially for our teen and pre-teen audiences. If
you are in doubt about the suitability of your
film, we urge you to submit the work and let the
NYICFF selection committee make the determination.
Festival guidelines and regulations are included
on the entry
form. |
