The 2018 Providence Children’s Film Festival starts today and runs through Sunday, February 25. The films will be screened in multiple venues including the Avon Cinema, the RISD Auditorium and Metcalf at RISD, the Athenaeum, the Everett Company, AS220, and more.
The annual Providence Children’s Film Festival takes place in February at multiple venues within walking distance of downtown Providence, with over ten days of screenings, filmmaking workshops, and free activities, along with post-film conversations that help deepen the film-watching experience and foster critical thinking skills. During the festival, PCFF screens an average of 18 feature-length and over 100 short films—including live-action, documentary, and animation—made by filmmakers from around the world. Beginning in 2014, PCFF added the Youth Filmmaker Showcase, a juried program of films made by youth, followed by an opportunity for young filmmakers to talk about both the fun and the challenges they face during the creative process.
