KIDS FIRST! Endorsement
Adult-Approved and Child-Recommended
KIDS FIRST! has been supporting quality children's media since 1991. Unlike awards programs which limit the number of films honored, every title meeting the KIDS FIRST! criteria and approved by children as well as adults is endorsed. KIDS FIRST! is a trusted source for parents and educators concerned about the content their children are absorbing. Every title endorsed by KIDS FIRST! or accepted for our film festival meets or exceeds our base-line criteria and is reviewed by juries of adults as well as children, assuring you that it is adult approved and child recommended.Submit

What People Say About the
KIDS FIRST! Film Festival
Our Kids@BIFF program was a rousing success last week and your KIDS FIRST! films played an invaluable part in that achievement!! Approximately 1000 students attended this year's events - more than we have ever hosted during the ten-year history of Kids@BIFF! Our school district liaisons are delighted by the fact that they can always count on KIDS FIRST! Films to provide a selection of films that is not only age-appropriate and entertaining, but is also a source of inspiration and useful life lessons.
I look forward to continuing our relationship with your company and to growing with you in our collective efforts to bring the power of film to our youngsters! Thank you SO much!!
