Jacob Burns Film Center and NYICFF present NY Int’l Children’s Film Festival 2024.
You may not have heard of the Moomins before (well, unless you’ve been to NYICFF in the past 6 years), but these adorable trolls and their whimsical yet harebrained adventures are absolutely huge overseas. They’re back once again with three all new stories to satisfy your every Moomin desire. In Homecoming, the moomins find the community at odds and under the spell of a charismatic leader denouncing all rules. The road to friendship is not always the straightest route when Moomintroll tries to help the valley’s latest resident, Snork (new character alert!), make friends in Inventing Snork. Finally, when Moomintroll learns of Moominmamma’s love of hot air ballooning, he’s determined to see her wildest dreams take flight in Moominmamma’s Flying Dream. Featuring the voices of Rosamund Pike, Matt Berry, Warwick Davis, Rhys Darby, and Bel Powley.
Tickets are also on sale for NYICFF Shorts for Tots (Mar. 2, Ages 3+), NYICFF Short Films One (Mar. 2, Ages 5+), and NYICFF Short Films Two (Mar. 3, Ages 8+).
