Die Liebe zum Film teilen, junge Kinobegeisterte dazu bringen, Qualitätsfilme zu sehen, die Sprache der 7. Kunst lernen, künstlerisches Schaffen fördern.
Filmfestivals finden nur wenige Tage lang statt und leider haben viel zu wenige Kinder Zugang dazu, aber sie sind eine großartige Informationsquelle, um einen Kinderfilm zu finden, as well as audiovisuelle Produktionsfirmen, Animationsschulen and Regisseure / Regisseurinnen who offer the possibility of watching their films for free online.
Viele Filmfestivals sind Kindern gewidmet — Spielfilm-, Kurzfilm- und Animationsfilmfestivals, wettbewerbsorientiert oder nicht.

Some are very large like Chicago or New York with over 30,000 visitors a year, others are much smaller with just a few hundred, but all share the same wonderful mission: showing quality films to children.
Neue Meisterwerke entdecken und teilen
Um uns über internationale Kinderfilmfestivals auf dem Laufenden zu halten, haben wir eine Datenbank zu Kinderfilmfestivals erstellt.
Sehr nützlich für Regisseure und Festivaldirektoren, mit denen wir in Kontakt stehen. Es ermöglicht, die Redaktionslinie jedes Festivals zu verstehen und natürlich neue Meisterwerke zu entdecken.
