Update from Northwest Film Forum:
The remaining CFFS public events/closing weekend will be rescheduled for May, and we cannot wait to welcome large family audiences back to Northwest Film Forum for these exciting public programs.
Until then, we hope you will all stay safe, calm and healthy — and watch great movies with your kids.
On Sunday, March 8, join Children’s Film Festival Seattle off-site at Rainier Arts Center (3515 S. Alaska St.) for a full day of colorful Closing Day festivities! (Read ParentMap's preview!)
Celebrating the festival’s globally-minded programs in one of Seattle’s most diverse neighborhoods, the morning will kick off with your choice of “Om Nom Nom” or “Lift-off” – two programs that combine breakfast and a film screening – and then continue throughout the day with films for all ages, intergenerational hands-on workshops, and an awards ceremony!
Finally, the entire festival closes out with a live performance by youth from the School of Spectrum Dance Theater, who will choreograph a routine exclusively in response to the evening’s feature film, Moving Stories! Moving Stories follows youth from around the world to showcase the transformative power and universal language of dance.
