Catch the best short films from around the world for ages 3-7!
Bigger, brighter, bolder—change is in the air in the compilation NYICFF Kid Flicks One, brimming with fun and clever stories of growth and transformation. If you've ever been the youngest of the group, you’ll sympathize with the little tadpole who always falls a tad behind in the charming Kuap. Catching up on penmanship is the name of the game if you want to graduate from pencils in the winning doc Pen License. Then little ones are in charge and grown-ups get to play when the hilarious Flipped reworks the script.
