Location: Cinemas citywide

Question 1

Will my 4-year-old actually sit through a whole film?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the kid, but the festival picks films specifically for attention spans at each age level. The 2-4 screenings are shorter and gentler; 5-8 year olds get longer stories. If your child does okay with a 45-minute show at home, they'll probably manage a theater screening. Start with a film that matches their interests rather than guessing.

Question 2

Do I have to stay for the whole thing?

Accepted Answer

No. Most parents drop in for one or two screenings and skip the rest. The workshops are optional too, so you can just catch a film and leave. Check the schedule when dates drop to pick the slots that work for your family.

Question 3

Is there food at the cinemas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the venues are regular cinemas across the city, so they have standard concessions like popcorn and drinks. Prices are typical cinema markup, so bring cash or card.

Question 4

What's the deal with the children's jury?

Accepted Answer

Kids in the festival vote on their favorite films alongside adult judges. Your child won't be part of the jury unless they're selected beforehand, but it's cool to know the winners are picked partly by kids their age. It makes the whole thing feel less like adults deciding what's "good" for them.
