CHIFF / April 27 – May 6 2018 / Melbourne

The Children’s International Film Festival will take place over two weeks, from April 27 to May 6, 2018.

The festival caters for kids aged from 3 – 14, the festival will feature a selection of non-verbal shorter films for the mini film lover, and a more challenging mix of foreign and English language films from all over the world, for older budding cinephiles.

The festival team have sourced films from Berlin, Toronto, and Seattle film festivals.
