Click Clack Jack Official Selection for Kids First Film Festival

Now in its tenth year, the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival showcases new and classic children's films and videos from studios, independent filmmakers and student filmmakers suitable for a two- to 18-year-old audience. All films meet the KIDS FIRST! baseline acceptance criteria of: no gratuitous violence, no racial or cultural bias, no inappropriate sexual content, no replicable unsafe behavior, and no condescension towards children. Most importantly, the Festival looks for films that are new, innovative, inspiring, and will make a positive impact on the audience.
Annually, more than 600,000 kids and parents attend screenings of films from the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival. These screenings take place year-round at more than 120 different venues nation- and world-wide. Our partners include established film festivals such as the Newport Beach Film Festival, the Flatland Film Festival, the Women's Museum and the Delray International Film Festival in Florida; art and children's museums such as the Children's Museum of Houston and the Brooklyn Children's Museum; nonprofit film centers such as the Avalon Theater in Washington D.C., the Santa Fe Film Center, and the Pennsylvania Film Institute. Additionally we collaborate with many libraries, schools and local community organizations who screen films year-round.
