De liefde voor film delen, jonge filmliefhebbers inspireren om kwaliteitsfilms te bekijken, de taal van de 7e Kunst leren, artistieke schepping aanmoedigen.
Filmfestivals vinden maar een paar dagen plaats en helaas hebben te weinig kinderen toegang, maar ze zijn een geweldige informatiebron om een film voor kinderen te vinden, as well as audiovisuele productiebedrijven, animatiescholen and regisseurs who offer the possibility of watching their films for free online.
Veel filmfestivals zijn gewijd aan kinderen — festivals voor lange films, korte films, animatiefilms, met of zonder wedstrijdelement.

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.
Nieuwe meesterwerken ontdekken en delen
Om de internationale kinderfilmfestivals bij te houden, hebben we een database van kinderfilmfestivals aangemaakt.
Zeer handig voor regisseurs en festivaldirecteuren met wie we contact hebben. Het geeft inzicht in de redactionele lijn van elk festival en helpt natuurlijk ook nieuwe meesterwerken te ontdekken.
