-
Kids For Kids Festival is an independent festival of films made by and for children and a meeting place for young filmmakers, media experts and the interested public. This film festival is managed by CIFEJ, for the annual AGORA E.E.I.G. meeting, the Annual Mediterranean Regional Summit.

Selection: A Selection committee will choose the films to be shown in the Official Competition of the festival. Only films that have been cleared of rights (including musical rights) will be accepted. The films have to be entirely made by children from 6 to 12 years old or 13 to 16 years old. The wide range of forms and the different possibilities for an aesthetic realization of subjects are of great importance for the Festival. Films will be accepted in 3 categories: animation, live action (arts and documentary), and one-minute films. The animation and live action films should not be longer than 10 minutes. If your film is selected for the Official Competition, you will be notified in writing.
-
Awards: the festival management will appoint an international professional jury and an international children jury. Some young filmmakers might be invited to take part in the international children?s jury, and will be notified in writing. These juries will award the following prizes: Best film in each age group, in each category, and one GrandPrize for outstanding achievement in a film made by children from each age group. Awards and Prizes will be announced at the conclusion of the festival.
