Now in its ninth year, the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival is a showcase for children's films, TV shows and DVDs from major studios and independent filmmakers. The festival is a traveling, year-round festival that partners with more than 120 venues nationwide who host more than 10,000 screenings of KIDS FIRST! films to an an audience of more than one million!
Youth are given a true voice - as curators, as audience members, as film critics, as volunteer staff and as filmmakers showing their work. In 2008, almost one-third of the films accepted were from student filmmakers.
All films screened during the year, from September to September, are eligible for the KIDS FIRST! Best Awards, awarded annually in October. For details on our 2008 Event, go here.
