The 16th annual LAICFF takes place April-June 2022.

Each year, presenting 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 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!

    A great festival that includes a variety of films. My family loves attending and participating. The virtual festival was just as amazing as the in person one. I highly recommend submitting a project and attending.

    The Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival is one of the world's most prominent celebrations of film and TV for children. It was a great honor to learn that "Monkey & Cat" was named an Official Selection, and the whole experience was very rewarding for our studio. The festival is a major event in the Los Angeles metroplex, and totally free for all to attend. Even as a virtual, online event, it was as well managed and fun as ever, and perhaps even better attended than those in past years. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make 2020's LAICFF one of the best, in spite of everything! *****
