About NYICFF:
As North America's largest and most prestigious festival of film for people under 18, NYICFF presents a kaleidoscope of new animation, live action, experimental and documentary shorts and feature films from around the world. Revered by Variety as "more daring and subtle than the usual kids' fare" and recognized by Time Out New York as "redefining what kids' entertainment can be," NYICFF is not shy about showing films with mature themes, subject matter, language or sensibilities - especially for our teen and pre-teen audiences.
