Join us in the Auditorium for a truly special family experience, the 8th Annual Northbrook International Children’s Film Festival!

Join us in the Auditorium for a truly special family experience, the 8th Annual Northbrook International Children’s Film Festival! You’ll enjoy award-winning short films from around the world and have the chance to meet film directors!

Co-hosted by the Chicago-based International Children’s Media Center, the live festival screening will showcase eleven captivating films from eight different countries, including India, Italy, and the UK. With the theme "What a Wonderful World," these unique films are sure to inspire the imaginations of children and adults alike. The films will appeal to children ages 5-10, but even older kids will find something to love in this international mini-festival. Learn more at www.northbrook.info/film-fest.

The International Children’s Film Festival brings quality entertainment to family audiences. Each program offers new global perspectives and teaches children to develop healthy tech habits, according to Nicole Dreiske, curator and author of The Upside of Digital Devices: How to Make Your Child More Screen Smart®, Literate, and Emotionally Intelligent.

At the festival, children will have fun learning how to watch a movie "with their minds awake" and then vote for their favorite film. After the screening, attendees are invited to stay for a hybrid Q&A with film directors appearing in person and remotely.

This world-class line-up of children's films includes eleven films from eight countries.  “What A Wonderful World” offers families insights into new cultures and celebrates inclusivity in special ways. 

Advance registration is required for all Library programs. You do not need a library card to register.

Let’s look on the bright side and celebrate our wonderful world! You’ll be awed by a young girl’s imagination in Hanami (USA), and inspired by the power of ancient Cree story-telling in Wâhkôhtowin (Canada). Then laugh out loud as a clever little dinosaur outsmarts the bullies in Bellysaurus (Australia).  What a Wonderful World features eleven films from eight countries, including: El Charango (Italy), Wings,  (USA), Wâhkôhtowin-All My Relations (Canada), Hamsa (USA), Bellysaurus (Australia), Hanami (USA)  Andy: A Dog’s Tale  (USA/Serbia), Dawn (USA, Germany), Spirit of the Forest (India), Charlie and the Hunt (USA), o28 (France.)
