More about the RIFF Kid's Film Festival:
The Ridgefield Independent Film Festival launches their first Kid’s Film Fest on Saturday, April 27 with imaginative and engaging films for young children, tweens, teens, and families. RKFF showcases an array of programming from around the world including animation, documentary, and short films with broad appeal.
Ridgefield Theater Barn will be RKFF central, showing films throughout the day including the Kid Flicks Tour which features audience favorites and award-winning short films from the New York Children’s Film Festival, the nation’s largest film festival for kids and teens. With a compelling range of styles and themes, this collection of clever, thought-provoking films will inspire budding cinephiles (and their parents) to expand their horizons.
RIFF Redux presents two, nine-minute films made by a group of local middle school students last fall, overseen by Dave Goldberg and Dave Herman, which feature numerous Ridgefield landmarks—including a starring role played by Ridgefield Library—plus a few cameos by familiar faces.
Liyana, the internationally acclaimed South African genre-defying film, screens in the evening. Described by the Sunday Times as, “part documentary, part animation, pure magic,” the film transports you to another world and tells a powerful story of perseverance and hope.
