CICFF 30th Anniversary Schedule & $40 Family Pass #ChiILPicksList

I've been a volunteer at Facets Multimedia for 23+ years.   And I've adored and attended the Children's Film Festival since long before I had kids of my own.  My tweens who are 10 & 12 grew up on the fest and are eagerly anticipating this year's lineup which features more tween features in addition to all the early childhood and elementary age favs.

Check back with ChiIL Mama like we vote in Chi, IL... early and often.   We'll have our ChiIL Picks List up shortly.

We sat down and picked the brains of projectionists and staff at Facets about their favorites and we'll be adding our own wish list as well.   What will you see? It's a multicultural feast of fam friendly cinema.



Of course you'll want to adapt the schedule to the ages & tastes of your kids.   If you plan to hit more than one show, buy a family pass.   It's a smokin' deal at just $40!   But go early to the screenings you want to see. Entry is limited by capacity.


This year's CICFF features the absolute best in new world cinema for kids of all ages.

The programs we've designed to celebrate our 30th anniversary will empower and inspire the next generation of film lovers. Join us and take amazing journeys with a wealth of character-driven stories, painterly and cutting edge animation, and thoughtful resolutions. Every screening at the CICFF is a visual treat for the whole family.
