KIDS FIRST! Film Festival

Manoa’s Outreach College presents the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival, on Sundays, June 15–July 20.

In its ninth year, the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival offers sneak peeks at new films from major studios, classic films, independents and shorts in a variety of styles including animation and live action. Films include Alice Upside Down, Moondance Alexander, Dooby Dooby Moo, Madeline: Next Stop America and more.

The films are evaluated by juries of adults and kids and must meet the KIDS FIRST! criteria of: no gratuitous violence, no racial or cultural bias, no inappropriate content, and no condescension towards children.
