The Canada International Children's Film Festival (CICFF) is a vibrant celebration of global cinema dedicated to young audiences and the filmmakers who inspire them.
After a magical debut, the Canada International Children’s Film Festival (CICFF) returns for its second year—bigger, brighter, and more inspiring than ever!
In our inaugural edition, we screened 30 incredible films from across the globe: features, animated and live-action shorts, documentaries, and TV episodes, all created with love for children and families. The festival was filled with energy and imagination, brought to life by Q&As, hands-on workshops, and an inspiring Introduction to Filmmaking Masterclass by Kevin Romano-Huhn (Co-Founder, MARKD Productions & Senior Manager, Toronto Film School).
Now, CICFF continues its mission to celebrate the magic of storytelling—bringing children, families, and filmmakers together in a joyful space that uplifts, educates, and empowers.
Highlights of CICFF:
- A diverse lineup of international films for young and family audiences
- Engaging workshops, panels, and interactive activities
- Q&A sessions that connect filmmakers with their audiences
- Special awards honoring excellence in children’s and family cinema
- Networking opportunities for creators and collaborators
At CICFF, every story matters. Whether you’re a filmmaker ready to share your vision, a parent nurturing a young storyteller, or a child discovering the wonder of cinema for the first time—CICFF is where imagination takes flight.
Together, we’re inspiring the next generation of dreamers!
