This is definitely the type of screen time you can get behind. Read on for the full scoop. CelebrateThis year’s theme is Imagination Without Borders with festival imagery featuring the work of celebrated Oakland artist, Favianna Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a transnational interdisciplinary artist and cultural organizer who was recently featured on Ben & Jerry’s new ice cream flavor, Pecan Resist. The theme will resonate throughout the weekend with panels, workshops and films around the topic.WatchSaturday and Sunday are broken down into two sets of films: morning and afternoon. Morning shorts are great for kids of all ages (and attention spans). The afternoon features shorts as well as a feature length film and is recommended for the older set (7 and up for the shorts and 8 and up for the features). This year includes a special screening of Pixar’s Academy Award Winning Film, Coco, featuring a presentation on the making of the film with Director Lee Unkrich & Story Supervisor Jason Katz. Kids will also love Chuskit, the gorgeous and inspiring film from India of a young girl with a disability chasing her dream of going to school in her remote Himalayan village.Visit the 2019 schedule for the full scoop.MakeFor all of your pint-sized auteurs-in-training, the festival offers fun, hands-on workshops in clay puppeting, pixilation and stop motion.
