Notes/description: As an Oscar®-qualifying event and the largest film festival for young audiences in North America: "What we want: Short and feature films for audiences age 3-18. NYICFF seeks creative, original, non-formulaic works that will help to define a new, more compelling film for kids. We are not shy about presenting films with mature themes, subject matter, language or sensibilities--especially for our teen and pre-teen audiences. If you are in doubt about the suitability of your film, we urge you to submit the work and let the NYICFF selection committee make the determination. Films may appear in or out of competition.
