School Break Screening

Don’t miss this special encore screening! We first showed this wonderful program back in September, and here’s your chance to see it again or for the first time. Bigger, brighter, bolder—change is in the air with these fun and clever stories of growth and transformation. If you’ve ever been the youngest of the group, you’ll sympathize with the little tadpole who always falls a tad behind in the charming Kuap. Catching up on penmanship is the name of the game in the winning doc Pen Licence. Then little ones are in charge and grown-ups get to play when the hilarious Flipped reworks the script. These shorts and so many others await you!

Recommended age: 3–7

Kid Flicks One is recommended for ages 3–7.
