Film Festival has become the largest traveling children's film festival in the world by collaborating with more than 100 venues nation- and worldwide. The Festival showcases children's films, TV shows and DVDs from studios, independent and student filmmakers. This year, the Festival will have more than 10,000 screenings of individual films throughout the year. Youth are given a true voice - as curators of the Festival, panelists critiquing films, volunteer staff and as filmmakers and videographers showing their work. Critical to the impact of the Festival is providing educational programs that help children develop critical viewing skills. Once a year, in the fall, awards are given to films in more than 19 categories as well as five "Best of the Best" films at the annual KIDS FIRST! Best Awards Celebration.
