The New York International Children’s Film Festival is North America’s largest festival of film for children and teens, and stands at the forefront of a movement to define a new, more provocative and compelling film for kids. Each year the festival presents a carefully curated collection of the best new animation, live action and experimental film from around the world in an exhilarating festival atmosphere with all the immediacy and excitement of a Cannes or Sundance. **Films:** A group of musically inclined ants face off against a lumberjack threatening to take down their tree in **Pik Pik Pik**. Being different isn’t so bad in **Bunny New Girl and Zebra**. Sometimes even our family members can feel like strangers in **My Big Brother, Eyes**, and Oscar®-nominated **Me and my Moulton**. Fantasies create new worlds and endless possibilities in **5.80 Meters**, **Larisa Can Fly**, and **Submarine Sandwich**. One special object can inspire anyone, big or small, in **The Elephant and the Bicycle** and **Cookie-Tin Banjo**, and a fly and a spider go to war in a common bathroom in **Minuscule: The Private Life of Insects – Brushing**.
