The Family Film Program will present short animation and live action movies from around the world. All films are G-rated. No registration is required, but seating is on a first-come-first-served basis and all children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 

The family film festival will also include a workshop. The "Story Smash" program allows participants to pass an iPad to create a collaborative story. The final product will be screened at the end of the program. 

"A Taste of Animation" will allow families to Create original art work and then use stop motion software to create a short scene. There is a waiting list for the animation workshop, so those interested should arrive early and there is no guarantee of admission. 

The family film festival will follow the same schedule on both days.
