Chicago International Children's Film Festival

The 27th Chicago International Children's Film Festival has got more movies than ever before – 240 from 40 countries – and many of them deal with issues that both children and adults can relate to (immigration, healthy eating, the importance of the arts and arts education). We have a lot of fabulous, award winning animation this year which will certainly delight adults and kids as well! Weekend screenings are happening all over the city at Facets Multi-Media, the Max Palevsky Cinema at the University of Chicago, the Center on Halsted and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The ten day Fest is the only chance for Chicagoans to experience these hilarious, touching, thought-provoking films from around the world. The schedules can be viewed at www.facets.org/kids. Thanks for helping us spread the word! If there's anything else I can provide to make your job easier - photos, quotes, screeners, etc, please let me know. Many thanks for your help.
