Promotes Positive, Educational and Entertaining Films for Children
About this Event

The Atlanta Children's Film Festival promotes positive, educational, and entertaining children’s and family-oriented films. This educational and fun festival is two weeks of eye-opening and exciting activities which include film screenings and workshops for children, teens and industry professionals.

One of the goals of this festival is to introduce youth to careers in film and television. At the Atlanta Children's Film Festival children watch eye-opening films which expands their imagination, learn media literacy, and create their own positive media content.

This year’s film festival will be July 7 – 24, 2022. After two years of a fully virtual format this year will be a hybrid festival. The theme is One Big Family-Creating Together. Sixty films made by and for young people will be screened. The films come from filmmakers from all around the world.

There will be awesome guest teachers: Allyssa Lewis, Emmy-Award winning animator, Fran Burst-Terranella, Emmy-Award winning independent film and television director and producer, Janlatae Mullin, Award winning director, and Kelly Young-Silvia, actress and youth acting instructor. The festival kicks off on July 7, 2022 with an animation workshop, a festival favorite in past years. By popular demand we will showcase films via virtual screening July 18 - 24, 2022.

There will be a list of film screenings and workshops under the ticket section and at KVC's website:https://kidsvideoconnection.org/information/
