KIDS FIRST! Best Awards Celebration
Every year we honor the films that have been screened at our KIDS FIRST Film Festivals during the preceding 12 months at our annual KIDS FIRST Best Awards Celebration. Awards are given in 20+ categories plus five Best of the Fest Awards to the five top films overall. It’s not an easy task as every one of the 300+ films we screen throughout the year is excellent. We draw upon a jury of film programmers and film professionals who are engaged with us year round and whose expertise covers the category for which they jury. Our nominees will be announced the first week of September and the finalists will be announced October 7 at our Awards Ceremony at Calamigos Ranch, Malibu, CA. If you are a filmmaker interested in children’s films, or if you live in southern California, I highly encourage you to join us for this day of filmmaking and fun. Here’s the schedule.
