Film Screening – Kid Flicks Two

Saturday, March 19, 2:30 PM
KAC Library

KAC is proud to be a venue for the 2022 Coastline Children’s Film Festival. Join us in The Library for a screening of the New York International childrens’ Film Festival Kid Flicks Two.

With shorts for ages 7+, Kid Flicks Two audiences are ready for plenty of fun, plus deeper themes and multilingual films with English subtitles. Stop motion equals nonstop action in Wild Lea, as a feral Colombian cat goes from lonely to loved, but can she learn to settle down with her new makeshift family? And if kooky tales are what you’re craving, you’ll flip your lid over the hilariously absurd split personalities of Matilda and the Spare Head. In the doc Dear Future Me, 6th graders wrote letters to their future selves; fast-forward to 2020 when the now 12th graders re-read them with alternately surprising, bittersweet, and hilarious results. 

68 mins., In English and other languages with English subtitles.
