BAMkids Film Festival at Brooklyn Academy of Music

BAMkids Film Festival 2021 will present a range of virtual programs from FEBRUARY 20-28. Established in 1998 and now in its 23rd year, the Festival-one of the largest attended children's festivals in the country-will present nine days of virtual creative, fun, and culturally diverse films that tell stories about children and present ideas from a kid's point of view. Alongside the dynamic slate of cutting-edge family-friendly shorts, the popular Brooklyn film festival will present interactive film and dance workshops, performances, dance parties, yoga, and more curated activities designed for the digital space. The Festival will also present the debut of its Young Filmmaker Showcase, featuring shorts by young creators from New York City and around the world.

This year marks the first time the BAMkids Film Festival will run virtually and on-demand, allowing families from all parts of the country an opportunity to watch critically-acclaimed children's films and connect with artists through specially curated workshops and performances.
