The CICFF is North America's largest and most celebrated film festival devoted to films for and by kids, and it's the only AcademyŽ-qualifying children's film festival in the world!

This year's festival features over 220 of the best films and videos for kids from 40 countries. The Festival welcomes over 25,000 Chicago area children, adults, and educators to the screenings, and over 140 filmmakers, media professionals & celebrities attend the Festival to lead interactive workshops with kids.

The CICFF advocates positive programming for kids and families: creative, fun, and culturally diverse films that not only tell stories about children and teens but also present things from kids' point of view. Facets Multi-Media, Inc., a not-for-profit film and video organization, is proud to present the annual Chicago International Children's Film Festival.

New for 2006! The CICFF joins the north and south sides of the city with its new weekend theater partners, the Wilmette Theater (1122 Central Ave., Wilmette) to the north and the Beverly Arts Center (2407 W. 111th St., Chicago) and DuSable Museum (740 E. 56th Place) to the south.
