Children's Film Festival Seattle is part of Northwest Forum's programming for young people and families. At Northwest Film Forum, we recognize that young people and families deserve the highest quality films made specifically for them, and that the future of our organization is dependent on continually building, from the ground up, film audiences who are globally minded, intellectually curious, and critically discerning.
We present a world-class international children's film festival every year, as well as year-round programming that includes award-winning features and shorts, historically important children's films, director retrospectives, documentaries from around the globe, interdisciplinary programs, and hands-on filmmaking workshops.
This year visiting animation directors include:
Will Vinton, "Animated Genius: Films of Will Vinton"--Saturday, 2/2 Jeanne McKinney, "City of Gold"--Saturday, 1/26 Maniwa Arisawa, "Bunny Bowling"--Sunday, 1/27
