Two examples of long form films at this year’s festival:
Films inspired by beloved classic and contemporary children’s books are a festival hallmark. More than half of this year’s selections are adapted or re-imagined from literature. These films ignite a love for books and reading, and also complement the Massachusetts Public School Curriculum Frameworks. They will be shown on Sunday, Jan. 19 and Monday, Jan. 20; films devoted to reclaiming green spaces will screen on Sunday, Jan. 26.
The festival also welcomes renowned animator David Feiss, director of the recent animated hit, Hitpig!, who will participate in a Q&A after the screening of his fim. He will also lead a workshop where kids can learn to draw characters from the Minions and Hotel Transylvania films.
