Dear Families, Educators, Librarians, Caregivers, Film Lovers and more!
We are thrilled to announce another great year -- the 19th year! -- of the Rochester International Children's Film Festival!
Once again, we will spotlight one new short virtual film a day, along with media and literacy suggestions including vocabulary, discussion questions, books, songs, movement, and art activities. In other words, a fun and stimulating way to spend quality learning and art time with the children in your life!
WHEN IS THE FESTIVAL?
- The festival begins Saturday, May 25th and runs through Tuesday, June 25th
- The five films for the coming week will be made available on the preceding Saturday and Sunday of every week, so teachers, librarians and caregivers can pre-watch films and use the provided Activity Sheets to plan screenings for the children in their care during the week

ABOUT THE FILMS
- All films have been chosen by a veteran film programmer with over 35 years of experience, and approved/vetted by a committee of educators, librarians, administrators, artists and childcare professionals
- Films are appropriate for preschool children on up, but have been well-loved by adults as well over the years (some adults come to our screenings by themselves!)
