From Friday, September 6th through Sunday, September 8th The Picture House will present the fifth annual Westchester International Children’s Film Festival (WICFF) once again bringing the best new films from around the world for ages 3 through 18 to Westchester, the Bronx, and Connecticut. For the fifth year in a row, the WICFF is sponsored by the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo.
Highlights of the festival include the critically-acclaimed Australian film Storm Boy starring Geoffrey Rush and Jai Courtney, an advance screening of the French animated film Dilili in Paris, prize-winning and audience favorite shorts including a celebration of Dutch animation, and the British live action film, Swallows and Amazons. On Saturday, September 7th at 10:00 a.m. The Picture House will roll out the red carpet for its youngest filmmakers at its annual Student Showcase. The showcase offers Picture House students, their friends, and families the opportunity to show off their talent and see their recent works come to life on the big screen in the Main Hall.
