LOS ANGELES, CA – The REDCAT International Children’s Film Festival makes a most-welcome return to enchant moviegoers of all ages. Presented by CalArts in partnership with Northwest Film Forum, this family favorite brings together the best live-action and animated short films for young audiences. This year’s festival will be held over two consecutive weekends at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater May 5, 2012 through May 13, 2012 with multiple screenings daily.
Each spring, REDCAT turns its focus to engage young audiences and their families with a program that expands cultural horizons by raising the curtain on a world of celluloid wonder. Created with celebrated children’s film specialist Elizabeth Shepherd, each program is thoughtfully designed to engage kids from ages 3 and up, to early teens. The Festival provides unique offerings that shed light on kid’s experiences throughout the globe.
Showcasing work from more than 25 countries–including Brazil, Colombia, Israel, Iran, Japan, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Taiwan and Vietnam–the 7th annual Festival brings together a fresh collection of inspiring stories, exhilarating adventures and pure cinematic joy with programming that includes award-winning features and shorts. From animated antics to rip-roaring live action, festival highlights include favorites from famed Russian studio SHAR, a new delight from Aardman Animations and a very special Nick Family Fun Day.
