The 2012 New York International Children's Film Festival


The 15th New York International Children's Film Festival (NYICFF) is underway. With 100 new films, it is considered the nation's largest film festival for kids and teens. I thought last year's films looked incredible. How I wish I could take my kids to see some of them! Fortunately, we are able to watch some of the previous years' films online.

For four weekends, the festival presents films, workshops, Q&As, and other events around New York. This is such a great opportunitiy to take your kids to see some thought-provoking films created for children ages 3 - 18. I especially love that the NYICFF also provides Family Guides for families to download online. Centered around some of the films, the guides provide activities and questions for parents to ask their children.

Here are a few shots from this year's international line-up:
