This program of shorts from the New York International Children’s Film Festival brings plenty of fun geared for older kids, including explorations of deeper themes and multilingual films with English subtitles.
Some of the highlights of this year’s program include Dear Future Me (2020), a documentary that looks at students who as 6th graders in 2014 write letters to their future selves and then reread the letters as 12th graders in 2020 with surprising, bittersweet, and hilarious results. The Oscar-shortlisted animation Kapaemahu (2020) tells an Indigenous Hawaiian legend of the spirits in the stones. And in Ice Breakers (2019), a gifted young African Canadian hockey player discovers a remarkable, buried heritage of Black athletes who paved the way in an overwhelmingly white sport. (69 mins., digital video) Recommended for ages 7 and up.
This free short film program in Mershon Auditorium is intended to allow for come-and-go viewing experiences that can be built around children’s attention spans and comfort levels.
Parents, if you have any questions about Zoom activities and films or their content, please contact Wexner Center Community, Youth, and Family Programs Manager Jean Pitman at jpitman@wexarts.org.
