A very special thank you to our Youth Advisory Council (YAC), a group of local teens from five different high schools in Boulder Valley who have been hard at work to make the Youth Pavilion possible. Throughout the year, the YAC provides support for film clubs and classes at local middle and high schools and dedicates its time to filming projects for local non-profits as well as putting together the program for the Youth Pavilion.

NYICFF KID FLICKS ONE

Saturday, March 7, 11:00am–Noon,
Boulder Public Library Canyon Theater
Ages 3-7
60 min

Bigger, brighter, bolder: Change is in the air in Kid Flicks One, brimming with fun and clever stories of growth and transformation. If you’ve ever been the youngest, you’ll sympathize with the little tadpole who always falls a tad behind in the charming KUAP. Catching up on penmanship is the name of the game in the winning doc Pen Licence. Then, little ones are in charge and grown-ups get to play when the hilarious Flipped reworks the script. Presented in partnership with the New York International Children’s Film Festival.

NYICFF KID FLICKS TWO

Sunday, March 8, 1:30–2:45pm,
Boulder Public Library Canyon Theater
Ages 8+
72 min

Kid Flicks Two bridges the gap between little and big for young audiences growing in experiences and ideas. Take a wild ride and harness the (cat) power of the cosmos with the quirky film Catmos. If you’re curious about more earthly matters, take a page out of a Field Guide to Being a 12-Year-Old Girl. And whether their tastes lean umami or sweet, the duo in Mogu & Perol just might convince you there is simply nothing more delish than a warm friendship. Presented in partnership with the New York International Children’s Film Festival.
