Kids Rule Film Festival wants kids to have the opportunity to experience incredible short films from all around the world. We also want to encourage young film makers to tell their stories.

Kids Rule Film Festival screens films created for kids aged 6-12. All genres are welcome - including music videos. We invite entries from around the world and encourage entries from young filmmakers worldwide. We are hoping for a diverse and interesting collection with different viewpoints and perspectives.

All selected films will be screened to an appreciative live audience. Non-English films are welcome but must have English subtitles.

Selected films will receive official selection laurels and the film voted the audience favourite will receive a certificate (which will be emailed to you after the event).

Filmmakers of selected films are welcome to attend the screening and will be offered two complimentary tickets to the screening.

    We were very honored to be part of this wonderful little Festival. Erifili was super attentive and responsive and even though we could not attend she organized an interview with us so we could talk about the film to the audience! Thank you for all your hard work Erifili! Lisa & Jeremy
