Kineko International Children's Film Festival was funded in 1992 with its original name "Tokyo Kinder Film Festival" in partnership with the director of Generation section at Berlinale.
KICFF is a non-profit film festival and has become the largest film festival for children in Japan. Every summer, the Festival welcomes over 10,000 children, adults to the screenings, and media professionals, international guests and celebrities attend the Festival to lead interactive workshops with children.
The festival introduces opportunities for Japanese children to experience cinemas around the world, animations, international cultural exchange programs and one of the most unique features, Live Japanese Voice Over performed by professional actors.
KICFF is a competitive festival and the decision is made by children.
This Festival also features year-round screenings and media literacy workshops for children around the cities of Japan.
