Children’s Film Festival Seattle is a cine-magical extravaganza for tots, teens, and everyone in between! Since 2005, CFFS has grown to become the largest film festival on the West Coast dedicated to children and their families, with an annual lineup piled high with shorts, features, and hands-on activities for all ages.

Each year we program over 150 films from international artists, seeking out joyful, thoughtful stories that give audiences new ways to understand our world and make the global approachable. The festival welcomes wide-eyed first-time filmgoers and seasoned cinephiles alike, creating a delightful setting for discovery and offering diverse animated and live-action films you won’t find anywhere else.
