Dela kärleken till film, få blivande filmfantaster att vilja se kvalitetsfilmer, lär dig språket i den sjunde konsten, uppmuntra konstnärligt skapande.
Filmfestivaler äger bara rum under några dagar och tyvärr har inte tillräckligt många barn tillgång till dem men de är en fantastisk informationskälla för hitta en barnfilm, as well as audiovisuella produktionsbolag, animationsskolor and direktörer who offer the possibility of watching their films for free online.
Många filmfestivaler är tillägnade barn, långfilmsfestivaler, kortfilmsfestivaler, animerade filmfestivaler, konkurrenskraftiga eller icke-konkurrenskraftiga.

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.
