We’re proud to present the New York International Children’s Film Festival’s Kid Flicks Pride Tour—a special touring program celebrating LGBTQ+ stories and storytellers through vibrant, inclusive short films for young audiences.

Kid Flicks: Pride is a celebration of self-expression, community, legacy, and love. Curated specifically for ages 9 and up, these shorts from around the world feature a wide range of LGBTQ+ identities and experiences in as many unique styles. Schoolyard matchmakers, a Belgian teen, a group of Indigenous Hawaiian mahu, and more highlight the power that comes from embracing who you are.

The New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF) is the largest film festival for kids and families in North America, known for its bold, creative, and diverse programming from around the world. With Kid Flicks, NYICFF brings award-winning and audience-favorite short films to communities nationwide—offering fun, thought-provoking, and beautifully crafted stories that spark connection and conversation.
