The 18th annual LAICFF takes place March-May 2024.

Each year, we present around 100 short films from around the world—animation, live-action, and documentary films—at different venues and organized for different age groups. Free admission to screenings at WonderCon with WonderCon badge; free admission for everyone to all other screenings.

The festival welcomes submissions from filmmakers of all ages - kids, teens, and adults.

The festival has a history of showcasing talent and moving careers forward, with more than 35 of our animators and filmmakers going on to work for major studios, and more than 25 becoming part of Oscar-winning teams. We are very proud of our alumni!

We are a non-competitive festival.

The submitter acknowledges that they have the legal right to submit this film for public viewing in the festival settings, and that all cast and crew have willingly agreed to public screenings in the festival settings. The festival does not pay screening fees or offer travel/lodging stipends.

    Great festival! I enjoyed the variety of content that was suitable for children but still thought-provoking for both kids and adults.

    I'm thrilled that we participated in Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival this year.
    It was an exciting and good experience.
